To practice floral design students will make two arrangements to take home, each illustrating a different design technique. Plant material will include seasonal favorites such as roses, stock, larkspur, hydrangea, lilies, mums, asters, carnations, flowering shrubs, daffodils and tulips as well as fresh herbs, berries, fruits, vegetables and greens.
