Florist to create sculpture exhibition to showcase town's history
A florist from Attleborough has received a grant to showcase moments from the town's history through sculptures.
Lydia Bustin, the owner of Armeria Floristry, got the £2,000 grant from Breckland Council to help fund her upcoming exhibition.
Breckland Council offers the 'Love Your Market Town' grant to groups and local businesses to help boost footfall in towns across the district.

After pitching her idea last year, the 29-year-old received the money to help launch a 'large-scale sculpture exhibition' that will represent moments from Attleborough's history.
With the town's history dating back to Saxon times, Armeria Floristry is collaborating with Attleborough Heritage Group to display 'floral sculptures that tell you about a period of time'.
'Once it got to the point where I really liked my work and the way I designed I decided to push the business,' Lydia said.

'I think it is going to be really big for the town as it is something different for Attleborough.
''It's nice to be able to use my creativity and skill to do something like this.'
The exhibition will be held in St Mary's Church in Attleborough from June 20 to June 22.
