Green-fingered Kendal retirees connect with nature in spring flower arranging masterclass

Kendal retirees joined local florist, Made in Flowers, at McCarthy Stone’s Retirement Living development, Alavana Place for an interactive spring flower arranging masterclass. 

The local florist shared all their top tips on floral designs during the session using spring flowers including tulips, carnations and Eucalyptus. Retirees also had the chance to tour the show suite apartment at the development with their friends and family, while enjoying some light refreshments and speaking to members of the McCarthy Stone team about all things Alavana Place.

Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager for McCarthy Stone, said: “We were so excited to see the turn out for the spring flower arranging masterclass and it was lovely to see the beautiful bouquets dotted around Alavana Place. We want to thank Made in Flowers for putting on the demonstration and hope we can work with more local businesses in the future.”

Katie Davis from Made in Flowers, adds: “It was so much fun to visit Alavana Place and celebrate the spring season with a flower arranging session for homeowners and local retirees. Flower arranging is becoming increasingly popular as a way to connect with nature and the changing seasons. It was lovely to meet everyone and work together to create all the arrangements.”
