Job Bank's national median is $17.31 an hour, about $36,000 a year full time. Job Bank groups florists with retail sales staff, so the median leans low. Alberta's government career site puts the average floral designer at about $24 an hour. Shop owners and wedding florists can earn more, with more risk.
