Dawn Chorus and Radio Waves: A Weekend with the North Midlands Area
From the high-stakes world of competitive floral staging to an impromptu appearance on the airwaves, it has been a whirlwind week for the team.
Go behind the scenes at the North Midlands Area show as we detail the construction of our "Dawn Chorus" exhibit—a contemporary marriage of Eucalyptus bark, Norfolk moss, and bespoke willow sculpture. We also dive into the eclectic world of the show stalls, where a hand-painted flamingo screen with ties to Leeds Castle found a new home, and Victoria’s daughter made her debut on Yorkshire Radio.
It’s a story of vision, "kelter," and the wonderful community of seasoned competitors and professional arrangers that make the British floral scene so vibrant.
