TWO aspiring young florists picked up medals for their flower arrangements exhibited at Chelsea Flower Show.

Ellie Cullen, aged 12, and Emma Stone, aged 13, both entered separate arrangements in the horticultural event's collage class for juniors, titled A Decorated Fan.

The girls each made their collages on A4 card from dried preserved plant material.

Ellie was awarded a silver medal for her efforts and Emma received a Certificate of Achievement. Both girls attend Worcester Floral Arrangement Society Junior Club, which meets every third Saturday morning of the month at Hallow Parish Hall.

Chairman of the club, Janet Denny, said the plant material was very well used.
