Exciting news! I am helping to organise a British Flower Festival at Holy Trinity Church in Cuckfield. The Festival will run from 13-14th June 11am-5pm and all the designs will be made using sustainable materials and British flowers. We would love to hear from you if you could help us with flowers for the displays. If you have a small patch in your garden or allotment perhaps you could sow some seeds and cut some flowers for us? If you do not have any seeds we can provide you with some which have very kindly been donated by Sarah Raven – drop me a line if you would like some. It’s not too late to get involved with the festival if you would like to take part by arranging one of the displays or helping out on the day with marshalling – we need lots of helpers and we’ve got a lovely friendly team ready to welcome you! Our next meeting is on Wednesday 12 February at 7pm upstairs in the Old School, Cuckfield.

These gorgeous test tubes were all filled with British flowers from Laines Organic farm in Cuckfield.
