2026 was a busy year for flower shows - and they're not over yet!
One of the joys of my job as a freelancer and florist is attending flower shows on behalf of the Interflora Floristry Trade Club. This year was very busy, it started with Harrogate, then Malvern, followed by the jewel in the crown, RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
A hot RHS Badminton in July was a new venue, and we are not done yet. In September I will be off to Fleur de Villes 'Diana' Exhibition and in October I'm thrilled to be invited to the preview of 'Rooted' a new floral experience at Hodstock Priory in Yorkshire.

Based on her experience in the world of flowers, Su Whale decided to publish a book with detailed information on over 150 varieties of cut flowers. The correct name of the flower, the availability, the vase life, which colours. In addition, it offers specific information for florists, floristry students attending training, and also for home care. Everyone who loves cut flowers will find some valuable information in this convenient book.
