They\u2019ll have just 50 minutes to create a huge worker bee \u2013 the symbol of Manchester \u2013 in flowers and foliage. The task is designed to test skills and push boundaries and to encourage creativity and innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Course Manager Fiona Davies said: \u201cWe are delighted to have the chance to show off the skills of our brilliant students at such a prestigious competition. We\u2019re sure that our team will prove to be fantastic ambassadors, both for Reaseheath and for the floristry industry as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Felicity Toogood, who is opening her own floristry shop \u2013 Nature\u2019s Gallery \u2013 in Culcheth next month said: \u201cThe team are very much looking forward to competing, and to networking with floristry professionals who have travelled world-wide to take part. It is a great privilege to represent Reaseheath College on such an international stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Student Team Competition takes place on day three of the Interflora World Cup, which is being held in the UK for the first time since its inception in 1972. The event offers a chance for elite florists from around the globe to showcase their incredible talent. For the first time, Interflora has also created a showstopping experience for visitors, including the general public, who can expect artisan stalls with food, drink and shopping as well as workshops and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>2023 also marks Interflora\u2019s 100th birthday and the event will form part of their centenary celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>For further information and tickets see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interflora.co.uk\/world-cup\">https:\/\/www.interflora.co.uk\/world-cup<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":128288,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[867,863,468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
