Mothers day window display

We have had lots of interest with our window display for Mothers day, our giant size flower hand tied bouquet has received some great comments, people are coming into the shop to say how lovely it looks, someone said they had to walk past the shop again to take a closer look.

We put some posters up in the shop and at the local church advertising our Flower arranging and Floristry workshops and have interest already. We still have places available on the Saturday and Wednesday workshops for more information see our blog or call into the shop for a leaflet.
