Jackie Aldous came to our June Meeting. She started by making an arrangement with an amazing variety of foliage and then added flowers. When she had finished, she then produced two copies of the same arrangement but on a much smaller scale.
While producing two further beautiful arrangements, she told us about how she came to train as a florist. She was also invited to produce a 9 foot high free flowering pedestal arrangement with the theme of a tribute to the Virgin Mary at Westminster Abbey - she said she felt immensely honoured to be invited.
All of the 5 arrangements went into the raffle and there were some delighted members who carefully carried their arrangements back home.
Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday 13 August at 2.00pm at the home of Pam Lack, Hill Crest, Bungay Road, NR14 7WD. Our garden meetings are always enjoyed. Entry fee is £2.50 which includes tea and cake. There will also be a raffle and a Bring and Buy stall with produce and plants for sale. All friends are welcome.
If there are any queries, please contact Pam Cooper, President on 01508 491674 or Lesley Sanders, Secretary on 01508 492155.
