Hans, who is based at Twyning, said: “I was so surprised to get first I didn’t hear I had won the show prize for Best Use of Foliage.”

The contest in Blackpool was organised by the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies as part of a festive flower and food show.

Hans will be talking about Christmas flowers next month on The Chatty Gardener
