NURSERY rhymes are the subject of this
year's Ottery St Mary Flower Festival which begin on Thursday
(September 11).
The event in the Parish Church, which ends on Monday (September
15), sees flower arrangers from the town and further-a-field
give their unique horticultural take on old favourites such
as Oranges and Lemons, Humpty Dumpty and Little Bo Peep.
Organiser Carol Bennett, who has been planning the event
for two years, said: "We've got 39 displays. The ideas
are so exciting. Each entry is so clever, individual and
different, Ottery has a very talented set of flower arrangers."
The church will also host a special concert at 7.30pm tomorrow
and Songs of Praise on Sunday at 6.30pm.
Admission to the event is free but donations for church
funds are welcome. Coffees, teas and ploughman's lunches
are among treats available to visitors. Proceedings run
from 10am to 6.30pm. The event will open from 12noon to
6pm on Sunday.
