SHANNON ACTON
YORKSHIRE & NORTH EAST
A BIT ABOUT ME
When I’m not flowering, I’m usually baking something sweet, i love meeting new people, or cleaning (honestly, nothing beats crisp hoover lines and the smell of a clean house).
I live in the middle of the Yorkshire Dales, so fresh air and long walks are a big part of my life- usually with a strong black coffee in hand. Add an Aperol spritz and a Daim bar into the mix, and I'm Happy!
Favourite flower… I adore Lily of the Valley, but also love Juliette David Austin Rose.
