The Floralistas donate to Lemon Tree Trust
Massive thanks to Ashley and Michelle at The Floralistas for their generous donation to the Lemon Tree Trust.
The Floralistas, a floral design studio located in the Lake District, UK, contributed a portion of profits from their 2023 Flower Club Collections.
The Floralistas are renowned for creating stunning bouquets and wedding flowers, as well as offering floral workshops and masterclasses.
