Floral Design Contest Information: The floral design industry is a booming business. Because of the limited opportunities for learning through 4-H in horticulture, the Horticulture Committee has developed this new contest to expose youth to the industry, create awareness of careers in the horticulture/floriculture field, and provide another avenue of participation for youth that allows for creativity and hands on activity. 1. Youth will pre-register for the Floral Design portion of the Horticulture Show so that we can adequately prepare enough materials and supplies. A registration fee will be charged to help cover expenses of this contest and the awards program. 2. Registrants will participate in a two hour workshop where they will learn how to propagate plants (take cuttings from established plants and start new ones) and learn basic floral design concepts. 3. Youth will then compete in a floral design contest where they will be given supplies (flowers, greenery, container, etc) and equipment (cutters, floral wire and tape, etc.) to create their own arrangement. Youth will get to take their arrangement home with them. 4. The arrangements will be judged by a floral design professional and awards will be given. 5. 4-H members may enter the Vegetable Show and the Floral Design Contest or just compete in one event.
