2018 Spring Flower Internship

Each wedding season, we offer one or two internship openings for eager, creative souls who are interested in learning about event floral design through full immersion experience. This brave intern will experience a wedding weekend from beginning to end, starting with learning how to receive and process flowers, to create arrangements, and to set up and break down a wedding, as well as every other important detail in between. Other tasks will include general studio upkeep, gathering and sorting supplies, holding the occasional baby, petting the dog, and being flexible to fulfill a variety of roles that arise in a flower studio.

COULD YOU BE WHAT WE NEED?

We are looking for someone who is excited, hungry to learn, tough, and willing to possibly rip a few pairs of pants along the way (it happens more than you know). Our ideal intern is able to work in a fast paced environment, problem solve with the best of them when in a pinch, provide excellent customer service that includes a lot of smiling, be as pleasant mannered/enthusiastic as possible about hard work and about flowers, and be able to work well independently as well as in a team.

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

This internship is a paid position with a ten week commitment from April 18th through June 30th. Applicants must be able to commit to working at the studio at least two days a week throughout the internship, and a minimum of five weekend events. Obvious perks of the job will include learning flower skills and gaining what we hope will be invaluable experience. Additional tidbits include an endless supply of coffee and a crew of new friends.

Q + A

Q: What will my level of commitment be?

A: We are looking for someone who can work with us two full days a week and a minimum of 5 event weekends!

Q: Is this internship paid and how much?

A: Yes! We would never expect anyone to work for free! (what do you think we are? loco?!) We pay $10 per hour for studio hours during the week and during event weekends.

Q: If I apply will I automatically get an in person interview?

A: Unfortunately we can’t meet with every person who applies due to the volume of interest! If you receive a confirmation email asking about an interview, then we will meet with you in person at our floral studio.  

Q: Will this internship lead to a job/ full-time position?

A: At this time our internships will not lead to a position in the company. We love our interns and always keep them in mind as positions open up in the future with in our company and typically everyone still pops in for weekend events! 

Q: If I don’t get chosen (or if I can’t commit to the required time) for the internship is there anyway I can still be involved in Sweet Root Village and learn some sweet floral skills?

A: Yes! You’re in luck! We are always looking for eager creatives who want to learn on site by helping us at event set up and break downs. If you are interested in becoming apart of our creative team reach out to us via email at thevillage@sweetrootvillage.com. We pay our creative team members $10 per hour for set up and a flat fee for breaking down.
