Angels Camp, CA…The Bret Harte FFA & Floral Shop hosted its fifth annual Adult Floral class at the high school on November 20th and 21st. We had a sold out crowd of fifty parents and community members in attendance. Participants learned about color, the history of floral art, flower care and then constructed their very own table centerpiece for the Thanksgiving holiday. The theme this year was a Colonial American Armature design using greens, whites, and orange colors.

Students enrolled in the agriculture department’s Advanced Floral class were on hand during the class to help assist the adults with their flower designs. Money raised from this event will go towards funding the floral booths that each class displays at the Calaveras County Fair.

We would like to give a special thanks to all who attended the event and supported the Advanced Floral classes. Once again, the Bret Harte agriculture students are proving that it always seems impossible until it is done, and once it is done we can make our dreams bloom into action!
