Floriculture is a new class that is offered in the Ainsworth Ag Education Department. For the Floriculture final, students were challenged with creating flowers for a wedding. The students were divided into committees to create their arrangements. The class created: corsages, boutonnieres, bouquets, aisle frogs, centerpieces and head table decorations.

To test the durability of the arrangements, the students hosted a fake wedding to determine if the arrangements could withstand use.
