Congratulations

Bonnie Robinson, daughter of Nige Robinson recently graduated with a Diploma of Floristry.

Bonnie has displayed a natural talent from a young age and today she incorporates a Māori edge in her floral designs. She was one of the top students in her class and after graduating she gained permanent employment with a well-known Christchurch florist. Well done Bonnie, we are all very proud of you.
