Manson started her career in advertising in 2000 but in 2003 a search for a more soulful vocation led her on a wonderful and spiritual journey “from marketing to Michaelmas daisies” and on into the world of flowers.

Now having been a floral stylist for the past 11 years and previous owner of the boutique florist “Electric Butterfly Flowers”, Manson presents a variety of flower journeys for the soul or business

The hall was full of flowers – both human and botanical – decorated tables and breakfast.

Manson’s programme centred on the healing power of flowers; she interacted with her audience on a personal level.

The proceeds of the morning were used for the JWBS clothing depot, which is run by a group of volunteers. Some 60 clients per month are being assisted. The clothing depot performs a vital and vibrant service as a wing of the JWBS.
