Al Menary of Cornwall Country Flowers organised another of her popular flower workshops at the Tremayne Hall in Mylor Bridge last week to raise money for Arthritis Care.

This time the group made Scandi-style Christmas arrangements using white and silver as well as creating some more colourful table decorations. The group was treated to a festive tea after a busy afternoon converting masses of natural materials into their individual decorations.

Al and her husband Rob manage The Patch, an ambitious garden plot in fields on the Carclew Road, Angarrick corner, from which many of the materials were taken for the workshop.
