We had a very successful AGM followed by Debbie , one of our
Members doing a demonstration and interesting talk on her life as a flower arranger for the national trust in a stately home .
Her day would start very early , usually with just a few flowers that they had been given and had to work very fast , sometimes it was just a vase suitable for the Edwardian or Tudor room , where she just used a few stems and in her words sunk it and dunked it , and other times she was doing big pedestals. Or side table arrangements . It was also very interesting to see she could arrange flowers from the back so we could see the front , very clever lady .
Many thanks Debbie.
