Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser has lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament calling on fellow MSP’s to congratulate Jillian Page and Paula McLagan from Something Special Flowers in Blairgowrie.
Jillian won gold at the Chelsea Flower Show ‘Florist of the Year’ category and Paula was part of the Interflora team that won gold at the floral design exhibit. Following their success a parade around Blairgowrie was arranged with a visit from the Provost at their Wellmeadow Road shop.
Additionally, in 2013 Paula scooped the Chelsea Flower Show Young Florist of the Year gong.
Commenting Murdo Fraser MSP said:
“Blairgowrie is not only home to one great florist but two. Their achievements at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show deserve proper recognition and I am calling on fellow MSP’s to give them their support.
“Jillian and Paula’s successes have put Blairgowrie on the horticultural map and I wish them every success in the future.”
