A demonstrator since 2016, Jennifer is a member of Wessex Free Spirits. e rst arrangement was in a handmade willow basket. Leather leaf fern and Euonymus were enhanced by red Tulips, white double Tulips, Freesias and Lisyanthus. Touches of Daphne and Euphoria were added along with small Easter eggs on sticks. A beautiful Spring arrangement complimented in true Blue Peter fashion by one Jennifer made earlier! Next they had another lovely arrangement with Phormium, Palm leaves cut to a fan shape and some fern. Purple crysanthemums, lime green Leucadendron and Achimilla Mollis were accompanied by bright pink rattan spheres. is design was also replicated, but slightly smaller. A hand tied bouquet comprising Leather leaf and tree fern with white spray Crysanthemums, Alstromeria, Miscansus and Avalanche roses in peach made a stunning arrangement admired by all. Jennifer’s next design was horizontal to depict water. e greenery was two types of Eucalyptus with white mini Gerbera, white Avalanche Roses, blue Statis,Wax owers and Gypsophilia. It was a very elegant arrangement. A large urn was next with Fatsia leaves and Umbrella fern being the basis for Osmanthus, white Antirrinhum, Clematis seed heads, Scabiosa seed heads and single stem lime green Carnations. e nale came in a silver punch bowl. So Ruscus, Pittosporum and Photinia Red Robin complimented red Roses and Skimmia in Kew green with silver tin. ey hope to welcome Jennifer again in the near future with more imaginative designs.
