My Natural Christmas featuring Area President, Irene Hickson

Who’d have thought when we started making these videos earlier in the year that we would still be entertaining you with them at Christmas?
I would like to send a huge thank you to our Area Demonstrators, Teachers and their recording helpers, and of course Steve who has done all the post production work and given us such professional results. Thank you all.
In this final demonstration video for 2020 Area President & Area Demonstrator Irene Hickson’s inspiration came “from appreciating the simpler things in life in this upside-down world”

Well the weather has been pretty grim and the news too, so we hope this latest video from Allison Finch will bring you a little Dorset joy. It’s so clear here today that we may even get a super sunset today.
Allison is an Area demonstrator and teacher. In this video her inspiration has once more come from the beautiful Dorset countryside. Her “Dorset Sunset” arrangement is a radial design using garden flowers and foliage. Allison includes foam and foam free options in this video.
