60th Birthday Celebrations at Bartle Hall

This event was to celebrate our very special friend Colin Snell's Birthday

Colin & I planned beautiful Spring Gardens for the centre of each table, all of the designs were to be different, all were to be seasonal and garden like.

Colin orgnaised lovely table stationary with a perfect quotation on each place card.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;

they are the charming gardeners
who make our soul blossom.

Marcel Proust

Each design featured grouped spring blooms arranged with soft mossed and fragrant foliages.

There was lots of detail, like the woven flexi grass here.
