Hannah Howell, Designer of the 2024 Festival of Flowers, recently demonstrated to over 100 flower arrangers from throughout the Diocese, how to arrange flowers using sustainable flower mechanics.
As part of the Church of England’s target to be net zero by 2030, Chichester Cathedral is committed to deliver the next Festival of Flowers without using floral foam and has explored and invested in alternative methods, which are more sustainable.
