🌷 CDE Spotlight: Floriculture
Floriculture pairs hands-on floral design with plant science and real retail math, judged under a strict clock. This CDE Spotlight introduces students to the contest and gives them a simulated contest experience before they ever join a team.
Students will explore Floriculture through:
- What the contest involves, including the Floral Arrangement, Growing Procedures, and Retail Pricing practicums
- Why a cut flower is still living tissue, including how ethylene, cold, and stored sugar affect its vase life
- A worked retail pricing example with the contest's markup, labor, and tax rules, followed by practice problems
- A simulated Problem-Solving round with real business scenarios, from plant disorders to customer budget conflicts
A great tie-in for: FFA recruitment, horticulture courses, CTE career exploration, and retail math lessons.
📁 What's Included:
- Contest Overview: what the event is, who it is for, and the scholarships, college programs, and careers it feeds
- Contest Format: how the event is run, what each component involves, and how it is scored
- Background Knowledge and Vocabulary: the core content students need as a reference page, plus vocabulary terms with example sentences
- Practice with Answer Key: a worked example students attempt first, then check against a full key
- Simulated Contest: a scaled-down version of the event that doubles as the assessment
- Teacher Answer Keys: model answers, grading guidance, and a knowledge check key
