Students did a great job on their historical period arrangements in floriculture. They then learned how to make armatures used in olden times for bouquets. Armatures are returning because they are more environmentally friendly than foam. The students did a great job! We also started planting some winter floral crops in the new greenhouse! We may be having a Winter-December sale in there!
