ASHTON HAYES and TARVIN FLOWER CLUB October meeting

On Wednesday evening we were shown a very different approach to flower design when we had Christie's Flowers from Winsford for our meeting.

The results may look similar but watching a florist work is so interesting and quite different from watching a flower arranger. They work so quickly and adeptly. The way she made the hand-tied bouquets was really impressive. Some of us in the audience have tried to do these but with little success! I was lucky enough to win her Tropical bouquet.

The designs included a white arrangement in a basket, a posy in a glass cube, an all round design in shades of pink and mauve and the hand-tied bouquets.
The flowers were all beautiful (as one would expect from a florist's shop) and we all enjoyed an entertaining evening.

When I need flowers for a special occasion this is the shop that I will use.

Our next meeting is on November 11th when Nigel Whyles will entertain us with his version of " Christmas." I am sure it will be quite a spectacle on the stage of the Community Centre Main Hall. There will also be stalls selling Christmas gifts (Pots and hanging baskets of bulbs/herbs; Christmas cakes,Christmas puddings) and a Bring and Buy stall. Mince pies will be served with the tea/coffee. Should be a good evening so please bring friends.

On November 30th the Christmas workshop to make a door wreath will take place . To book a place or find out more call 01829 740832
