Flower Guild presentation and Workshop – 31^st January 2026

Our first Workshop of the New year will be on January 31^st 10 am for 10.30am in St Nicholas Church Kenilworth £3.50 which includes refreshments my demonstration and for those wishing to join us in the Workshop following the demo. 

In my demo I am going to cover The Principles of design and the necessity of good mechanics and make a Symmetrical arrangement the favourite shape of most Flower arrangers. The recipe will at the end.

We will also be having a sale of Flower Arranging equipment, mechanics and containers, kindly given to us by Ian Lawrence the husband of Janet who we sadly lost last year. So please remember to bring cash to stock up on things and to help boost the Guilds funds. This is a great opportunity for those of you just starting flower arranging to start to build your flower arrangers cupboard, or others like myself the garage!

A warm welcome waits you from myself and the Flower team.
