Sunshine may have been in short supply last week, but the floral marquee at Southport Flower show had a floral display brighter than the sun. The impressive display won a gold medal at Southport Flower Show and was very popular with visitors.
Poplar Farm Flowers from Ormskirk, raised hundreds of pounds for charity with their sunflower wall. Visitors paid 50p each to guess how many flowers were in the display. The money raised was donated to Queenscourt Hospice in Southport.
Joe Appleton from Poplar Farm said “It was a very successful weekend for us and lots of people had a go at guessing the number of sunflowers. Amazingly someone guessed to within one of the actual total which was 1,074!”
