Issue 50 of Fusion Flowers magazine, released on the 18th September is our autumnal edition however it is no longer available in print format but you can still be inspired by our DIGITAL version which is available via pocketmags

We celebrate the 50th issue of Fusion Flowers in style with a story of 30 years of friendship. Gabriele Kubo shares the story of the meeting of two glorious talents in the floristry industry - Kazumasa Kubo and Gregor Lersch who, to celebrate this lasting friendship, took part in a huge demonstration and competition in Japan. The 2008 Norwegian National Floristry Championships proved that the unbelievably gifted talent of Stein Are Hansen still has the power to provoke as once again he claimed the title as his own. Jens Poulsen reveals why he won. From Germany, Sue Phillips shares more ideas from the 5 Days, 5 Stories seminar and from there she dashed to The Netherlands to report on an unusual exercise to take a fresh look at – chrysanthemums!


Our team of designers revel in our 50th celebration giving you inspiring ideas and some surprising new techniques to explore – Damien Koh, Irene Brockwell, Mark Pampling, Marie Françoise Déprez and Teresa Maria Ineke Turangan create a series of step-by-step designs for you to try out.


Take a look at some of the aspects of the show gardens on display at the Chelsea Flower Show and find out more about the latest book from European Floral Academy (Académie Florale Européenne) – Floral Harmonies.


And just when you thought it was safe, Jo Read returns to investigate how the financial downturn has affected the high end of the market – it makes fascinating reading!


Not to mention all our regular features….
