Author Bio
Jacqueline Goss has been working in the flower industry for over a decade, having turned to a creative career after being made redundant from an office job. Jane Wighton came to floristry via a different route, having always wanted to follow in her grandmother's footsteps and beginning her apprenticeship at the age of 16. They have both been employed by busy London florists throughout their careers and have undertaken commissions for a number of private events. Their relationship, both as friends and working colleagues, began four years ago when they taught together at the same adult college in London.
