SPECIAL offers, free gifts and competitions are being held to celebrate the 25th birthday of a Runcorn florists.

Sisters Amanda Canning and Barbara Monks are planning 12 months of events to mark the success of their Old Town business.

"We started off with our mum, Joan Elizabeth," said Amanda, of Flower and Plant Works, of Church Street.

"Now we have a team of 10!"

Amanda and Barbara are keen to hear from any World readers who can remember receiving a special gift, wedding bouquet or sympathy flowers when the business was in its first year of trading back in 1981.

Special occasions celebrated by customers during the coming year are also being recorded in a commemorative book.

Call in with your details, until July 2007.

The best story each month will be featured in their shop and the winner will receive a celebration bouquet.
