Members Try Their Hand at Flower Arranging. As we had had a fabulous talk by Yarm florist Sandra Rose, President Angela suggested that prior to the Strawberry Tea ladies try their hand at table arrangements. As Sandra’s talk was ‘Flowers on a Budget’, beautiful blooms supplied by Kate Wilson were used plus some bear grass. Members chose a vase and created their own decoration. Just look at how well they did! One lesson of forty minutes and they are ready to have a go. Well done ladies!!
