Florists must analyze business practices to become environmentally savvy. This study investigated whether the introduction of sustainable waste practices into a college floral design course influenced the student’s perception of environmental health. Two groups of students enrolled in the basic floral design course at Mississippi State University completed a survey on environmental health at the start and end of the semester. One group sorted their lab wastes into compostable and landfill material. Results indicated students who separated their floral waste maintained the same level of environmental concern throughout the testing period while the environmental health scores of those who did not separate their waste declined. Secondly, results indicated participants that who did not separate their floral waste had lower mean scores from start to finish. Results indicated that students who separated floral waste had a higher environmental concern than those who did not separate their floral waste in the lab.

Det här examensarbetet syftar till att belysa tre före detta floristelevers tankar och upplevelser av sin treåriga gymnasieutbildning på Hantverksprogrammet, med inriktning florist. Alla tre tog studenten från samma klass 2011 och är i dag verksamma florister. Respondenterna har fått svara på frågor utifrån fyra begrepp; kreativitet, motivation, bildning och förståelse. De anser att de har fått stort utrymme under sina praktikperioder och i skolan, till att vara kreativa, med undantag från en av respondenternas upplevelser under det sista året. Men förutsättningarna för att vara kreativ under utbildningen, har sett lite olika ut. Både den fysiska och psykiska miljön, samt relationen till lärarna och de andra klasskamraterna, upplever respondenterna har påverkat deras motivation i hög utsträckning. Alla tre pratar varmt om sina praktikperioder och lyfter dem som en viktig nyckel för att verkligen förstå yrkets förutsättningar. Alla tre respondenter har strävat efter höga betyg och tyckte under hela utbildningen att de var viktiga och fungerade som en drivkraft, men att de inte har haft nytta av betygen i efterhand. Ingen av respondenterna upplever sig själva som tillräckligt bildade, varken enligt deras egna definitioner eller enligt vad de upplever att samhället och branschen “förväntar” sig av dem. Förändrings- och förbättringspunkter som har diskuterats var bättre fotomöjligheter, mer växtlära, fler floristkurser under sista året, att ha en bra budget och alltid färskt material, att gesällen bör ingå i gymnasieutbildning som ett slutprov samt möjligheten att jobba mer under tidspress och bestämda förutsättningar som priser och verklighetstrogna kundmöten. / This essay aims to highlight three former florist students' thoughts and experiences of its threeyear secondary school in the Handicraft, focusing florist. All three graduated from the same class in 2011 and is currently active florists. Respondents have been requested to answer questions based on four concepts: creativity, motivation, education and nderstanding. They believe they  have been widely reported during their internships in schools, to be creative, with the exception of one of respondents' experiences during the last year. But the conditions for being creative in school, have seen a little different. Both the physical and psychological environment, and relationships with teachers and other classmates, experience respondents have influenced their motivation to a great extent. All three talk warmly about their internships and raises them as an important key to really understand the profession's requirements. All three respondents have sought high ratings and thought during the whole program that they were important and served as a driving force, but they have not had the benefit of the grades after the fact. None of the respondents consider themselves to be sufficiently formed, either under their own definitions or according to what they feel society and industry, "expect" from them. Change and improvement points that were discussed were better photo opportunities, more plant science, more florist courses during the last year, always have a good budget and fresh material, the journeyman should be included in secondary education as a final exam and the opportunity to work more under time pressure and specific conditions rates and life-like client meetings.

Située au croisement de la sociologie du genre et de la sociologie des groupes professionnels, cette thèse vise à explorer quand et comment le genre devient un élément constitutif de l’organisation du travail dans les métiers de la viande et des fleurs. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique qui prête une attention particulière à l’agencement phénoménal des activités, elle s’attache à rendre compte de la manière dont les appartenances sexuées sont actualisées dans le cours des interactions professionnelles. Elle montre que les membres d’un groupe professionnel statistiquement sexué ne mobilisent pas toujours le genre de la même manière et ne l’investissent pas forcément d’une même signification opératoire. Il ne s’agit donc pas de supposer d’emblée une pertinence constante de l’appartenance sexuée, même dans des contextes professionnels marqués par des asymétries profondes de ce point de vue. Il convient plutôt de reconnaitre que la mise en pratique du genre est susceptible de se décliner de façons différentes selon les contextes d’interaction. En insistant sur les effets de situation dans la manière dont les individus « font du genre » (do gender), cette thèse apporte une contribution originale à l’analyse des processus de (dé-)sexuation des activités professionnelles. Enfin, en s’intéressant à leur organisation et aux épreuves que les professionnel·le·s traversent, cette thèse propose une lecture sociologique de deux métiers qui demeurent encore peu ou pas étudiés / Located at the intersection of the gender studies and the sociology of occupational groups, this thesis aims to explore when and how gender becomes a constituent part of workplace activities for two contrasting occupational groups: butchers and florists. Based on ethnographic fieldwork that focuses on the phenomenal organization of activities, it seeks to account for the ways in which gender becomes relevant to these professionals and their clients in the course of occupational interactions. It shows that the members of a statistically gender segregated occupation don’t always mobilize gender in the same way and don’t necessarily invest it with the same operative meaning. Therefore, even in contexts marked by profound gender asymmetries, it is important not to assume a constant relevance of gender and sex categories. Rather, it should be recognized that the gendered practices are likely to be quite specific to the occupational context under study. By focusing on the effects of the situation on the ways in which individuals “do gender”, this thesis makes an original contribution to the analysis of the processes of (de-)gendering professional activities. Finally, by studying the organization and professional experiences of butchers and florists, this thesis enhances our sociological reading of two occupations that have been little studied to date.
