Actress Becky Hindley – best known for her role as ‘bunny boiler’ Charlotte Hoyle in the ITV soap – set up Picking Posies with her friend Cathy Wallbank after identifying a growing trend towards seasonal, British-grown flowers.

The green fingered pair grow their own flower stock in an old market garden in Warton Crag, and create natural and unique floral designs for weddings and events.
