OUR next floral demonstrat­ion is on Thursday, April 27 when Gill McGregor, internatio­nal floral art designer, demonstrat­or, teacher and author will be visiting our club for the first time. Gill’s demonstrat­ion is entitled 'Simply, Sumptuous, Floral April Artistry'.

Gill, at the age of 11, became fascinated with flowers when she attended a local floral event, she then hunted down a show schedule and entered the next floral show. She became passionate about flowers and started competing with adults at the age of 14. Hungry for knowledge, Gill studied floral art and design in all its formats. She first taught an adult education class at just 22. Through her own inspiratio­n and passion for floral art, she has travelled extensivel­y, not only in the UK and Europe but also in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea and the US, sharing her knowledge, and inspiring others with her floral talent.

We meet at the Salon de Actos, La Senieta, Moraira, the doors open a 14.15 and the demonstrat­ion starts at 15.00. Entrance for members is €7 and visitors €10.

If you have never been to a floral demonstrat­ion do come along and enjoy a relaxing afternoon, watching as Gill turns boxes full of flowers and foliage into stunning exhibits which are raffled off at the end of the afternoon. There will be some very happy folks going home with one of these beautiful arrangemen­ts. Our flowers are supplied by Antonio and friends at Paichi garden centre.
