Taking a nostalgic look back at the Autumn 2005 edition of Focal Point!

What a truly fabulous issue this was, packed with incredible talent and unforgettable memories from the Society of Floristry team.

Here are a few highlights from that memorable season:

👑 Leadership & Vision: Eileen Avery-Scott leading as President, alongside Paul Raven (Vice President) and Angela Turner (Past President).

Flowers 05 in Islington: Who could forget the show at the Business Design Centre? From memory, it was one of the hottest days of the year—we were all sweltering, but what a magnificent occasion!

World-Class Workshops: Masterclasses at Writtle College featuring Interflora World Champion David Denyer and the incredible chance to work with German florist Wally Klett.

Top Tips & Textures: Practical guidance on lighting floral photography, plus a brilliant feature on textures from the Flowers & Plants Association, curated by editor Jo Jarvis and her enthusiastic team. 🕊️

In Memory: A touching tribute to Raymond Douthwaite of Douthwaites in Leeds. A long-standing Treasurer, true gentleman, and unwavering supporter of our society who is fondly remembered by so many.

Drop a comment below if you remember Flowers 05 or attended any of these legendary workshops!
