A FLORIST and her team members have won a gold medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Sophie Watton, who works for Bleujen Florist in Bude, was one of a team of five young florists aged 21 to 27 who won gold with their exhibit for Interflora. The team members were picked by Interflora for their passion, floristry skills and creativity and it was the first time the team have all worked together and on a project of this scale. The team worked closely with RHS Chelsea Gold medal winning Interflora florist David Ragg on the Great Pavilion exhibit, named 'Succession', which consisted of five wire canopy frames each individually designed and adorned with beautiful pink, orange and yellow flowers.
