This annual collaboration offers Reaseheath floristry students the chance to hone their skills by decorating one of Cheshire\u2019s most iconic landmarks.<\/p>\n<p>This year marked the 11th consecutive year that Reaseheath\u2019s floristry department has contributed to the event, this time giving Level 3 diploma and AIM students invaluable experience in event styling at a professional level.<\/p>\n<p>More than 200 stems of flowers and foliage \u2014 including roses, Amaryllis, Cymbidium orchids, and chrysanthemums \u2014 were arranged into dazzling designs that blended traditional elegance with modern creativity. Vibrant hues of red and gold enhanced the gallery\u2019s period d\u00e9cor, creating a festive yet sophisticated atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>A key feature of the project was the use of foliage sourced from Arley Hall\u2019s own grounds, adding a personal, local touch that harmonised beautifully with the historic setting.<\/p>\n<p>For the students involved, the project was not just a creative endeavour but a stepping stone toward their future careers in floristry.<\/p>\n<p>Level 3 student Sian Nesbitt said: \u201cBeing part of this project has been a brilliant opportunity to gain real-world experience. Seeing our work displayed in such an iconic venue is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James Jones, another Level 3 student, added: \u201cThis project gave us a real insight into working on a professional event. It\u2019s been hands-on and challenging, but really rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For adult learners like Caroline Jackson, returning to education made the experience even more meaningful: \u201cThis project has been such a joy to be part of. It\u2019s not only allowed me to apply what I\u2019ve learned but also to share something beautiful with the community at such a special time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instructor Robyn Longden, who oversaw the project, emphasised the importance of real-world experiences at Reaseheath.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cWe\u2019re committed to providing students with practical learning opportunities. This collaboration is the perfect example of how our students develop technical expertise, creativity, and professionalism, all while contributing to something truly special for the public, and it\u2019s a fantastic experience to add to their CVs!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gell Binhammer, another Level 3 student, praised the hands-on nature of the project, saying: \u201cI love the practical aspect of floristry. This project allowed me to be creative in a very real and satisfying way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thaliya Smith highlighted the professional growth she gained, explaining: \u201cWorking on a live event has been a brilliant learning experience. It&#8217;s helped me understand the demands of the industry and how to meet them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For adult learners like Jessica Green, the project offered personal fulfilment: \u201cReturning to education as an adult learner has been really rewarding and this event has given me the chance to get really creative.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
