Lucinda den Adel has won the VBW Flowercup 2017 – the national floristry championship in The Netherlands. She scored 81.50 out of 100 points with her arrangement, which kept her well ahead of the other participants. Aside from the coveted title of national champion, the delighted florist also won a big pallet of Oasis Floral Foam.
The final took place on Wednesday 8 November, at wholesale centre Cultra in Aalsmeer. More than 25 participants designed an Advent arrangement, using the recently introduced black Oasis Bioline Eychenne heart.
Student Rik Masson seized spot 2 and also won the ‘audience favourite’ award (made possible by Smithers-Oasis): an impressive feat for a junior florist. Marchien van den Berg (of flower shop De Takkenwijven) came third.
