I’m sure that there are lots more floral events taking place around the UK and Ireland over the coming 12 months.  Please do feel free to add any of them to this list by typing in the ‘Leave a Reply’ box below….then, other Flowerona readers can find out about them too.

P.S. Do look out for the new TV programme, ‘Grow, Make, Eat : The Great Allotment Challenge‘ which is expected to air on BBC2 in early 2014.  Florist, Jonathan Moseley, is on the panel of judges.
