The club founded in 1959 was formed to promote ‘Friendship through Flowers’ the aim may still be the same but with an association with the Scottish and National Associations of Floral Art Societies we have developed into the era of technology. Access to new way to communicate, along with access to a greater variety of plant materials from around the world and the continuing opportunity to experience the talents of demonstrators from all over the country who visit our club to entertain and inspire our members.

We recently moved our venue to The Old Court Room of The Tolbooth, High Street, Forres. This interesting historical building has proved to be most popular.

We have recently changed our monthly meeting times to 2.oo pm as decided by our members.

 We are a very friendly club who look forward to seeing new members and visitors at our professional demonstrations . Join us for a relaxing afternoon of flower arranging, stories , and lots of chat too , of course, over an end-of-afternoon tea, and delicious home baking .

There will be a variety of meetings, including hands-on and speakers .

 For more information please phone our Secretary - Or just come along, we would be delighted to see you

Contact Club if you require more information, or just turn up. Visitors £6.

June is the month our cub holds its AGM when we review the events of the year and seek a committee to administer the running of the club. Like all clubs we have a very small core committee. It continues to be difficult to replace team members when they stand down, as most members have served many terms in the past.

This event was a show case for the talents of many Floral Art clubs from all over Scotland.


Moray and Nairn club’s exhibit depicted –‘the early times’ -inspired by Neolithic Standing stones and ring sculptures’. It was a challenging subject constructed by a team of club members using a selection of dried and preserved plant materials.
