We were very grateful to Helen Chambers who brought forward her visit to Bedford at very short notice when our scheduled demonstrator was indisposed.
Helen of Evolve Flowers comes from Spalding in Lincolnshire. The title of her demonstration ‘Celebrate Summer’ was indicative of her passion for seasonal, British grown flowers. From Achillea and Paeonies to Vetch and Rumex (did you this was dock?) and a whole host of locally grown flowers in between, Helen produced some beautiful and thought provoking arrangements. It was an entertaining evening enlivened with Helen’s sense of fun and her generous sharing of knowledge and skills.
The stage looked stunning at the end – a comment from a member as she left ‘ what a great and very different evening – not a rose or carnation in sight and no floral foam’ summed up everyone’s enjoymnet – thank you Helen and for allowing us to share the photographs below
