As the world goes flower crazy with the start of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show later this month, Exeter is set to get its own exciting touch of floral glamour with the launch of the first ever Exeter Floral Trail on Tuesday 22nd to Thursday 24th May.<\/p>\n

As part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival, the Exeter Floral Trail is free to view and will feature beautiful, bespoke floral designs displayed in historic and retails sites across Exeter. Over 18 venues have signed up to be part of the Exeter Floral Trail which aims to raise awareness and funds for AgeUK Exeter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The University of Exeter is delighted to be included in the Exeter Floral Trail and we will have a design on display in the Forum Building on Streatham Campus.<\/p>\n

The Exeter Floral Trail is the brainchild of the team at the British Academy of Floral Art floristry school in Dunchideock, Exeter, which is celebrating its 10th<\/sup> anniversary this year. Over the past decade, the Academy has produced a record number of RHS Chelsea Gold medallists and British Master Florists.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Academy Principal, Tina Parkes, who won RHS Chelsea Gold with her Floral Kite just last year said: \u201cWe are excited to be bringing the Chelsea Fringe Festival to the city for the first time and have been overwhelmed by the positive response to the idea of the Exeter Floral Trail. We aim to bring a hint of floral magic to the city, whilst raising awareness and funds for the valuable work of AgeUK Exeter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Visitors to Exeter over these special three days will find unique floral designs created by tutors and students at the British Academy of Floral Art in the retail outlets of Build-a-Bear, Caroline Charles, Cath Kidston, Crafty Cakes, John Lewis, Lloyds Lounge, Mantis, Music Unlimited, Waterstones, White Stuff as well as AgeUK Exeter. Some displays will feature in store windows and on view day and night, whilst others may be nestled within the venue and accessible only during opening hours.<\/p>\n

Exeter\u2019s historic venues are participating with designs to be installed in St Nicholas Priory, Exeter University and in the grounds of Exeter Cathedral. The city\u2019s retail florists are backing The Exeter Floral Trail initiative too with their own Chelsea Fringe Festival displays at Trugs Florist, St Leonard\u2019s Florist, Jane\u2019s Florist, Dunstan\u2019s Florist and Blooms Florist.<\/p>\n

Spotting the floral designs will be made easier with a special Exeter Floral Trail guide available free from Exeter Tourist Information, Exeter Cathedral and participating locations or online at www.inexeter.com<\/a> and on the website of organisers, British Academy of Floral Art, at www.britishacademyoffloralart.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Exeter Floral Trail will make stunning Chelsea Fringe Festival selfies, and visitors are encouraged to post their images on social media using the hashtags #exeterfloraltrail #chelseafringe2018 #britishacademyoffloralart.<\/p>\n
