Charlotte Le Marquand is only 21 years old, but her passion and brilliant floristry has won her a place in the Junior section at Chelsea. Charlotte has been working at eFlorist Flower Scene in Launceston in Cornwall for 5 years where she started on a 1 day per week release scheme from school. Having completed her level 2 and 3 at Bicton College she is finding it hard to believe that she is now off to Chelsea for the first time!
Charlotte's boss, Alison Penno, is also attending Chelsea this year as part of the Cornwall and Devon Nafas team.
Winning the National Young Farmers competition at the Royal Cornwall Show in June 09, and then winning the National Competition have Charlotte the confidence to start competing. Entering the BFA hub meeting for chelsea (for under 25's) saw Charlotte winning a place for Chelsea.
Charlotte will be staging her exhibit, a Floral Fantasy Parasol on the Wednesday evening, so if you get a chance, go and support this young aspiring florist. We wish you luck Charlotte!
