Two Methodist Children’s Home School students, Justice and
Hawa, successfully completed their high school Level 1 floral certification
this month as part of their agricultural science class. To receive their
certification, the students had to pass a 100 question test related to floral
design and handling as well as a skills test.
The girls passed the question test on April 23 and traveled to
Dallas Skyline High School on May 2 to demonstrate their design skills. They
each constructed a symmetrical carnation triangle and a boutonniere within one
hour. These two designs are the
fundamental arrangements for work in the floral industry. On the boutonniere
portion, both girls scored an 8 out of 10 on the overall visual appeal. They
both received a score of 7 on the symmetrical triangle arrangement.
Now that they received their certification, Hawa and Justice
are able to become student members of the Texas Student Floral Association and
entitled to all the benefits of membership. A certificate of accomplishment for
each student will be presented during the school award ceremony on May 26.
