Floral installations using locally grown flowers will adorn the high street thanks to Rhian Rees of Wild & Fabulous Flowers and local growers including Pheasant Acre and Elwyn's Produce, while floral window displays have been created by high street traders and window artist Claire Williams of Huxley and Mabel. 

During the celebrations, traders will be showcasing their floral offerings, including Bont Gin, which has distilled a limited-edition floral gin.
