Hi everyone
It's been a while! I now have a YouTube channel :) Veronica Harmer if you want to take a look. It's floristry design learning tutorials, so if you fancy learning some new skills over the lock down take a look. Sunday 10th May is Garden Day UK and people are being encouraged to make a floral crown to celebrate. My tutorial link is below. Would be nice to see everyone's efforts!

Last workshop completed, thank you to everyone that attended. It was great fun and you made such beautiful designs...all so different.
With a heavy heart I need to tell all my customers that I will leaving Made by Kent at the end of December. Family and work commitments mean I’m stretched quite thin and have decided to reduce my workload. I’ve loved being part of the makers group. I started with Katie in the beginning and will always support this amazing venture.
I will continue to do private orders so please keep following my page for up dates.
Have a lovely Christmas and a healthy new year, Veronica X🎄
