The largest flower heart in Europe and Nina is part of it!

Megacool. I still can't believe I'm going to be there.

My training company received an email from the professional association Florist.ch. They presented the idea and asked for registrations. My teacher asked me if I was interested and I signed up.

But as I'm in my first year of my apprenticeship and there were certainly a lot of registrations throughout Switzerland, I was very skeptical. So, I'm even more excited that I'm obviously going to be there.

Many things. It's my first major project and one that's a record-breaker. We will also be working at an altitude of 2970 meters. That will be a challenge in many respects.

Not only in terms of planning, but also the weather. Of course, I'm also pleased that I can experience this in my first year of training.

I think it's a nice idea to give flowers as a token of love or friendship. As I'm only 15, I haven't done that yet.

But my father gives my mother red roses every Valentine's Day - and she gives him a peck. Since 2002.

Even as a small child, I loved flowers and made bouquets from meadow flowers. We put them in water at home, and I was very proud of them. So, the desire to become a florist soon arose. In the eighth grade, this briefly changed to retail sales assistant. But then I did a trial apprenticeship in a flower store and from then on everything was clear.

I like so many things. For example, the fact that I can surround myself with flowers every day and create the most beautiful works. I particularly enjoy making round bouquets and flower arrangements, but also garnishing individual flowers. I like the customer contact too. That gives me so much.

Off the top of my head, I can't really think of anything that I dislike. There are warm clothes and good shoes to combat cool temperatures. And I think it's only natural to work longer on flower-giving days like Valentine's Day.

I find it difficult to answer because I like flowers in general. But the roses are my favorite, especially the pink ones.

Thanks for the interview, Nina, and have fun on the Schilthorn.
