Lucy Hunter April’s talk will be a demonstration by Lucy Hunter of how she makes her exquisite flower arrangements. Although 'flower arrangements' doesn't really do either Lucy or the arrangements any justice as there's so much more to it than flowers in a vase. You can find out more on her website https://www.lucyhunter.co.uk/ or on instagram https://www.instagram.com/lucytheflowerhunter/?hl=en
