A floral clerk works in a floral department at a market or grocery store or an independent florist’s shop. As a floral clerk, your job duties include taking orders, cutting and arranging flowers for orders and displays, providing information about flower care, maintaining store inventory, and performing general cleaning tasks. While there are no educational qualifications for this career in the floral industry, employers prefer floral clerks to be knowledgeable about various plants and to have excellent customer service skills as well as some experience, such as in making creative arrangements or merchandising a plant product.
