ABOUT US
Our Area of NAFAS (The National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies) Spanning from the Scottish Borders to the Tees Valley, the Northumberland & Durham area brings together 22 vibrant flower clubs united by creativity, community, and a shared love of floral art.
Our Clubs generally meet on a monthly basis, including one contemporary club, Cutting Edge. Our area consists of around 950 members.
Most club events consist of demonstrations, workshops or other floral art related activities and each club tailors their programme to the needs of the membership. Often clubs will organise visits to gardens of special interest, Flower Shows or National Competitions.
