Our Club motto is ‘Friendship through Flowers’.

Auchincruive Floral Art Club is a hands-on club where a demonstrator/tutor comes along to our club workshop/meeting

The tutor/demonstrator completes two designs - one with floral foam; one with an alternative option.
Prior to the meeting, members are issued with a list of flowers and accessories to bring along

After the demonstration, we then proceed to complete our own arrangement.

The Floral Art Show "A Perfect Day" was held at the Racecourse, Ayr on 19 and 20 August 2023.

Eighteen of our members submitted entries into this competition. This show not only attracted exhibitors from other clubs in the South West of Scotland, but as far afield as Fife and Edinburgh.

Standards were extremely high. Lillias Hoskins, National President of NAFAS was judging the entries.

Well done to all our club members who entered, especially to our novice section entrants.
