Abridge Floral Club Demonstration

Our demonstrator for November was Lisa Morgan, a very accomplished and entertaining young lady.
The evening flowed as she showed many new and innovative things to do with foliage and flowers to decorate our homes and tables for Christmas. We saw two beautiful table centres in the traditional red and green or blue pine and then we had the beautifully textured arrangement in a bronze pot with gold twigs, pussy willow - yes, real pussy willow - and orange roses, and at the centre an orange tulle star centred with rosehips. Then some baked slices of orange fruits to give the most original creation.
 
There were two displays; one a variation on the old topiary ball, but brought up to the 21st century with a yellow cymbidium orchid, plus some small lights, battery operated and very effective too.
 
Then another exotic and colourful display using Heliconiums, ginger and Anthuriums, again with twinkling lights, very 'Christmassy'. We got a lot of ideas from these displays and many of our members stated their intentions to visit Lisa's Florist shop at South Woodford to discover more secrets of the art for themselves.

Love is an inspiration - by Patrick Johnson

When it comes to Valentine's Day many people consider a dozen red roses to be the height of romance.

Lisa Morgan has different ideas, but then she is a florist who has just made her debut as a demonstration designer at the national Spring Florist Event, using the most romantic day of the year as her inspiration.

 

Lisa, the owner of Morgans of Chigwell in South Woodford, has been a florist for eight years and was singled out to showcase the design excellence of East London and Essex florists.

And though she is no stranger to competitions this is the first time she has been asked to inspire fellow florists with her flower magic.

Speaking before her debut, Lisa admitted she was a bit daunted by the task.  She said: "People are going to use my designs in their own shops.  I can't afford to get it wrong".

As a flower arranger at the Birmingham show Lisa had to come up with two original designs for her demonstration.

But she is used to pressure as before finding floristry she had a high-powered job in the City as a future and options broker, but then she fell in love with all things floral after going to a flower arranging demonstration with her mother.

Now having been a florist for eight years, and owning her own shop for the past four, she is still enthusiastic about her work.

"We do weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs and corporate events.  The people I deal with are so nice and I do something that I'm very passionate about", she said.

And she has had to deal with some unusual requests in the past.  For one traditional East End funeral she designed a floral fruit stall more than five feet high and had to use a ladder to complete it and on another occasion she was asked to provide floral displays at a "Local person of influence's" barbeque.

Lisa also teaches floral history, flower arranging and balloon artistry and is currently teaching the Japanese flower arranging art called Ikebana at Heathcote School, Chingford.

Petal Power

Florist Morgans of Chigwell, based in stylish new premises on Chigwell Road, flew the flag for Essex at the two-day Spring Florist Event in Birmingham recently. 

Owner Lisa Morgan was promoting the design talent of West Essex and East London florists at the event, which drew nearly 7,000 visitors.  Well qualified in her field, she is a teacher and lecturer on historical flower design (and balloon artist to boot). 

Both traditional and contemporary approaches were reflected in her designs, which represented local florists and designers

Lisa was one of a number of debut designer demonstrators, the florist industry's way of inspiring an infusion of fresh ideas and talent in the trade.  All money raised at the event will be donated to the Macmillan Cancer Relief Appeal
