Rhod Gilbert's work experience as a florist!
The wait is very nearly over as Rhod Gilbert's work experience airs TONIGHT - Friday 31st March. It'll show how Rhod was thrown in at the deep end and worked in our industry over Valentines! But his ambitions didn’t stop there – he wanted to get a taste of competitive work and join in the Birmingham Chelsea heat!
We're hoping that it will promote floristry in a very positive way, allowing us to engage with audiences that we wouldn't normally!
We at the BFA were pleased to assist with Rhod & the programme, & can't wait to see it on air - when we can then share far more from behind the scenes!
