This technical course educates students in the elements of design and arrangement of flowers, foliage, and related plant materials for special occasions. Students will use hands on instruction to create and construct various types of flower arrangements. In addition, students will be active in areas related to careers and leadership in the FFA.

Students will learn how to make and care for arrangements, and how to make arrangements live longer.  They will demonstrate contemporary designs, business practices, specialty items, creativity, and careers in the floral industry by developing advanced floral design skills.  Students will know the management factors of floral enterprises and create contemporary floral designs. Safe work practices will also be covered. The standards to be met will be outlined by the TEKS.

*Students will have the opportunity to take the Texas State Floral Associations test to become a Certified Student Florist during the Spring Semester.
