A big shout to Manchester for such a fabulous welcome.
This was my first time at the Manchester Flower Festival and it was great. The weather was amazing and shone on us all weekend.
My big day was Sunday when I gave a talk on British Flowers “Brilliant British grown flowers – Love Them & Learn” - Be immersed in beautiful, locally grown flowers and learn why British grown flowers are brilliant.
Then onto workshops using flowers from south of Manchester thanks to Sarah from North & Flower for her beautiful flowers grown just outside Macclesfield, Helen from Evolve for the amazing peonies especially the Coral Charm peonies which absolutely stole the show and the deliciously scented apple mint from Kerryn and Tracey at Old Farmhouse Flowers.
In total 40 varieties of British grown flowers and foliage used.
Many thanks must go to all those involved in organising the flower festival and Mya, Adam and Vicky helping on the day.
Hope to see you again in Manchester for 2027 Manchester Flower Festival!
Big thanks to all those involved in making the day so fabulous at .manchesterbid
