Display and merchandise floristry stock
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit describes a fundamental operational function for the floristry industry and applies to those businesses which have a shop front presence or a display area to promote their products. The floristry business is likely to be a traditional retailer but could be an online business that operates a retail outlet.
Planning for and displaying floristry stock is usually undertaken by frontline operational personnel who work under close supervision and with guidance from others. However, in a small floristry business experienced florists and owner-operators also undertake this function.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to plan for, display and merchandise floristry stock items made for general sale, flowers, plants and both perishable and non-perishable ancillary merchandise for a shop front floristry business.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement. However, some floristry businesses supply foodstuffs, the handling and storage of which is regulated. Where this is the case, it is appropriate to select the hygiene and food safety units of competency as electives and assess them in combination with this unit.
