Chelsea Flower Show award

WEDNESDAY JUNE 7.

A HARLOW Flower Club member won a bronze medal at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Ann Emmott, of Cannons Close, Bishop's Stortford, was thrilled with her third place in the flower arranging section.

It was the first time she had entered and the first time the Harlow club had competed.

The base for the arrangement was a metal stand made by a local blacksmith and two willow cornucopias supporting blooms including 40 yellow roses and 30 sunflowers.

Ann was modest about the achievement, describing it as a nice surprise.

Club chairwoman Dorothy Read said members were delighted with the win for the new club, which meets on the second Thursday of each month at the Latton Bush Centre, Southern Way, from 7.30pm.
