Student duo create some floral designs
MILLOM AND DISTRICT FLOWER CLUB: Chairman, Mary Cunningham, introduced three ladies from Myerscough College, Lancashire, tutor Alison and students Lucy and Claire, at the February meeting. Courses are available at the college in horticulture, landscape design, equine studies, business management, motor sports and many others. Lucy and Claire were studying for a higher education degree in floral design. Their theme was, new ideas and techniques, and they certainly delivered. Alison gave a running commentary throughout as the two students worked side by side, creating unusual but very innovative designs. First was a bridal bouquet in a twisted willow frame with willow branches flowing beneath, lovely pink roses in the centre with pearl pins in the petals. Anne Stoddart thanked the three ladies for a very interesting evening.
Valentine's Day - Give Organic Flowers
Giving flowers has become such a tradition for Valentine's Day, but just because you may be single, doesn't mean you can't take part in the fun. I always send my best friend flowers on Valentine's Day, because let's face it, your best friend is always there for you and you do love her - isn't that what it's all about? You can also buy yourself flowers too, but you may want to think about buying organic bouquets. Why buy Organic Flowers? Whenever you touch or inhale the scent of your non-organic flowers, you are likely touching or inhaling poisonous chemicals. When you buy organic flowers, you won't have to worry about toxic chemicals on your flower bouquets. Through evaporation, toxic pesticides and fertilizers that are sprayed on flower farms end up in the atmosphere.
