Next month, the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2014 takes place from July 8th-13th. Today, I’m delighted to not only tell you about some of the flowery people you can expect to see at the show (including yours truly!), but also a chance to win tickets.
In the Festival of Roses & Floristry Theatre, there is a jam-packed timetable of floristry demonstrations and talks. Here are just a few people who you can expect to see there:
- Simon Lycett
- Claire Brown of Plantpassion
- Rachel Siegfried of Green & Gorgeous
- Jonathan Moseley
- Rona Wheeldon
Simon, Claire, Rachel and Jonathan will be doing floristry demonstrations. And you can see details of when they’ll be appearing in this timetable, together with Rebecca Louise Law, Jane Packer Flowers, Academy of Floristry, Academy of Floral Art and Mig Kimpton.
I’ll be there on Sunday, 13th July at 2pm. And I’ll be giving a talk about my career transition from corporate trainer to florist. I’ll share with you how Flowerona came about and tell you about my current role as a flower writer and social media trainer. It would be so lovely to see your there! If you get chance to come along, please do come and say ‘Hello’.
