The initiative was funded through sponsorship from The Tea Room and Detaljer.

The flowers have been decorated in a style reflecting the RHS theme of senses.

Children and adults were invited to reflect each sense making them both a joy to look at and hear.

The display has been installed in Wallwood, the council’s community woodland near the entrance to Tatton Knutsford mayor Cllr Peter Coan, representatives from sponsors and children and adults who created the designs met to launch the display
