“We would also like to thank all the Knutsford businesses that have taken part. The town looks fantastic.”

“We chose to focus on taste and smell as these are essential when drinking wine.

“All the materials used are either edible or fragrant, most are both.

“We created the display without using any floral foam which is a trickier but more sustainable way of working.”

Knutsford deputy town mayor Cllr Colin Banks and Sam Youd, former head gardener of Tatton Park, judged the entries.

Pulse of Perfumery won a new award introduced for 2023 entitled Best Floral Inspired Display.
