From creativity to craftsmanship, our Floral Design students have been busy growing their skills. 🌸✨
Recently, students explored the elements and principles of design in some fun and hands-on ways:
• Created flower fashion pieces to demonstrate texture and pattern
• Learned the color wheel through creative cookie decorating (yes—learning can be sweet!)
• Designed flower crowns to showcase their understanding of design elements and principles
From there, students applied their knowledge to traditional design by creating a classic round arrangement, focusing on shape, symmetry, and form.
To wrap it all together, they designed our April Blue Devil Blooms Flower of the Month—“Oopsie Daisy, It’s April!”—a stunning vertical arrangement that highlights line and height.
So proud of the creativity and growth happening in our classroom! 🌼💐 #FloralDesign #BlueDevilBlooms #CTAE #HandsOnLearning

Our Horticulture students have been digging into plant science and bringing their learning to life 🌱✨
Recently, students have:
• Learned about the parts of a flower and even created their own models
• Simulated pollination by acting as bees to better understand how plants reproduce 🐝
• Explored the parts of monocot and dicot seeds through hands-on investigation
• Observed the process of germination by growing their own microgreens from seed to sprout
It’s been exciting to see science in action as students connect concepts to real-world plant growth! 🌿🌼 #Horticulture #PlantScience #HandsOnLearning #CTAE
