Broadview and Enfield blooms

By Toney Teddy Fernandez

The Bloom and Craft event which took place at St Philip’s Church, the Parish of Broadview and Enfield in June was a lovely morning filled with petals, laughter, and a whole lot of heart!

The Bloom and Craft event allowed for fun and laughter – even among the adults

While the rain gently drummed outside, inside bloomed warmth, colour, and creativity. It turned out to be the perfect family day out, with parents and kids crafting memories together in Art of Floral Fun.

We explored the art of flower arranging—learning which blooms to choose, how colours sing together, and how a simple bunch can brighten a whole room. Even the parents couldn’t resist the charm—drawn in by the vibrant hues of roses, lilies, and baby’s breath. Soon, everyone was hands-on, creating their own beautiful arrangements.

Every petal tells a story of love, care and beauty. We thank Nguyet Thi Minh Bennett (Kitty) from TK Flower Shop, Parafield Gardens for leading the session.

Thanks to Anglican Grants for Good for generously sponsoring the event—every child took home not just flowers, but vases and floral decorations too, as little reminders of a joyful day.
