Dorset at the NAFAS National Show “Florilegium” A gathering of flowers

Congratulations to all our competitors.

Alison Yeates and Lucille Street of Verwood Club, on behalf of the Area, staged this beautifully colourful exhibit in the Area Class “On the Shoulders of Giants” Their giant was Sir Isaac Newton and the design was based around his experiments with prisms which led to theories regarding colour which is integral to our floral designs.

Bere Regis member Diana Holman competed in the small scale class “Richly Woven” Here is her delightful exhibit which won her a Very Highly Commended Award.
