WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
FLOWERS TO DECORATE THE MINSTER FOR
THE CORONATION CELEBRATIONS OF COURSE!
As you walk through the village of Stow, there are so
many lovely gardens with beautiful flowers that we thought it a wonderful idea to ask the villagers to kindly donate any flowers. Can you help us please? Any help will be much appreciated with the supply of flowers and greenery and/or actual decoration of the Minster.
If you would like to assist in this massive effort, then please let us know whether it is the supply of flowers or flower arranging that you can help with.
All the flower arranging will be done on:
Friday 5th May between 10.00 and 13.00, so please bring any flowers along then.
If you are not able to bring them yourself, we can arrange for them to be collected.
If you would like to provide an arrangement of your own then please put your name and telephone number on the bottom of the vase/container so that we know who to return it to.
My e-mail address is: hanrahanshirley@gmail.com
