Denise Jones is a Floral Designer and NAFAS Area Demonstrator working out of a studio in Weymouth on the Jurassic Coast. For this demonstration, Denise draws inspiration from her childhood memories of reading, of the family garden, and of collecting petals from her mother’s roses.

Area demonstrator Irene Hickson describes this as “A design to lift the spirits”. In the video she creates a spring design with a slightly modern look. She groups her flowers throughout and adds some rustic twigs.

The results for the National Chairman’s Challenge for January have now been released. Congratulations to South Midlands Area who were the winners for January.

At Area level we had 10 entries from the clubs and the winner was Suzanne Bareham of Dorchester Floral Group. Denise Miller of Broadstone & Corfe Mullen came second and Margaret Chapman of Owermoigne came third. Congratulations to everyone who entered at both club and area level.

Photos of all the Area entries are available on the photo gallery page.
