Tonight we welcomed Eleanor Bracken to our club, she created six beautiful designs. Eleanor grows much of the foliage she used in her garden, and it was interesting to know what grows well either in pots or in the ground.
Considering the wet weather we had a good turn out with members signing up for our special 65th anniversary event in June.
Eleanor has given permission for us to share two of her designs.

Spring workshop with Naomi Wells
What a fabulous workshop creating a spring door/wall hanging led by Naomi Wells & assisted by Lorraine Gagen.
We had two sessions, morning & afternoon.
Naomi gave clear instructions how to create the willow rings, it was a nice sunny day so it was good to be outside where we had lots of space to work in.
A great selection of plants, bulbs and stems were available & each design created had its own charm.
We were joined in the morning by Danielle’s young son Joseph who with just a little bit of tutoring made his very own design. Joseph’s mum has given permission for his photo to be included. Young Joseph also joined in the critique at the end saying he liked a particular design because the shape reminded him of a fish!
We had two visitors, when they arrived they felt a little daunted by the challenge but they both created beautiful designs and went home very pleased with their creations. We hope to see the. At our flower club meetings in the future.
From the morning session if you recognise your design please tag.
Another successful day. Thankyou Naomi, Lorraine and how lovely members for supporting this event.

March meeting
Spring was in the air at our meeting this evening when members enjoyed a working evening creating designs using spring flowers.
15 members took part, all the designs were judged with points awarded.
Many of the designs included flowers from members gardens, others used supermarket flowers. Designs were a mix with and without floral foam, and a few had included Easter accessories.
These working evenings are always enjoyable and some members came along to enjoy watching others get creative.

February 6th - Our first meeting of 2024. The weather could have been kinder, the rain just didn’t stop so the turn out by members was lower than usual.
Well done to all those who did come along for our AGM - Reports were given by our President, Chairman & Treasurer. Thanks were given to the hardworking committee and of course our very supportive members.
This year we celebrate our 65th Anniversary & the new programme will be available at our March meeting.
Competition cups were awarded to Lorraine Gagen (Novice) Naomi Wells (Intermediate) & Leoni Braz (Advanced)
Two of our members Lorraine Gagen & Naomi Wells are training to become Nafas demonstrators and we were delighted that they had agreed to give us a demonstration this evening. Quite a daunting task in front of fellow members buy they did brilliantly, creating 2 designs each with the theme of Hearts (For “Herts” & Essex Boundary Flower Club.)
Lorraine’s used a posypad fixed to a circular framework for her first design and her second design a handtie using a heart shaped framework handmade by Lorraine.
Naomi’s first design was without floral foam, a spring design using a willow & birch frame created by Naomi. The second design a handtie with one yarn covered and one birch twig heart shaped frame.
Well done girls..
