In May, I headed to Chelsea flower show to share my book with RHS members and the flower loving public and it was great to see it for sale on the shelves of the RHS gift shop .I spent 2 hours talking and signing books for visitors.
I'm heading up to Birmingham on Thursday 13th June for a repeat show at the BBC Gardeners live show and hopefully be spotting some stars.

June 2013
So its been a while since I last added anything on here and thought it was about time I shared all that has happened and is happening in the life of this floral designer.
March .. Fresh Floral Jewelry is official launched in the USA at the Philadelphia flower show.
I flew out to Philadelphia to work as a flower team designer with Bill and Kris Schaffer on the Philadelphia flower show for Schaffer designs and helped to create "Jack". the ripper and bring their design idea to life ,winning the coveted "best in show " award again for the 5th year 18.000 stems of flowers were used in the exhibit and designers came in from all over the States and Canada
My first ever book was launched at the show and it was spine tingling to see it on a book shelf in a gift shop being sold.
My book arrives in the UK . A very proud Dad (in law )

Guildford Cathedral 2013
June 2013Guildford Cathedral Flower Gala. What a fantastic week working on the Alter exhibit for this fab show. Paula Pryke headed the design team and I worked from Monday through to Thursday on the preparation and launch.
My design depicts the Queens Coronation and it was left up for the coronation mass on Sunday 9th June in the Cathedral . My aim was to create an English country garden look and Chris Wolfe from Southeast flowers knew exactly where I was coming from and wanting to go with my ideas.
The crown is made from bronze mesh shaped into a crown and 400 freeze dried statchy leaves were glued onto the wire frame. Reindeer moss was wired and glued around the base and diamantes glued into place. Wire structures were made and I glued in aspidistra leaves and trimmed them to fit. I then added tiny flowers and berries which were were glued around the frame. A cushion was made from Purple velvet and the remainder was placed inside the crown.
