Floriculture



FloricultureRevised 6/2019 2021 VersionPurpose and StandardsThe Floriculture Career Development Event seeks to effectively prepare students for the expectations of the agricultural floral industry. Students seeking careers in the floricultural field must develop a high degree of knowledge and skill, and also use critical thinking and oral communication skills. They will be able to demonstrate quality evaluation by judging potted foliage plants, cut flowers, flowering potted plants, and floral design classes. The students will identify the many cut flowers, potted plants, and tools and materials commonly used in the floral industry. Students will also demonstrate their design ability with flowers to wear, flowers to carry, and a floral design according to the floral industry standards. Students will also demonstrate their knowledge of the floral industry with a written test. California Career Technical Education Model Curriculum Standards addressed by this event include:Foundation Standards: 2.0 Communications – 2.4; 1.1; 2.2 a, b, c, f; 5.0 Problem Solving and Critical Thinking; 6.0 Health and Safety.Career Pathway Standards: Agriscience Pathway C11.2; Forestry and Natural Resources Pathway E8.2; Ornamental Horticulture Pathway F1.4, F1.5, F9.0, F11.0 ContestantsTeams shall consist of four members. The scores of the four team members shall be combined for the team score. All team members are eligible for individual awards. State finals contest will consist of a preliminary round and a final round. The preliminary round will be held on Monday April 26, 2021 and the final round will be held Wednesday May 5, 2021. To qualify for the final round, a team must be in the top 12 teams after the preliminary round. The preliminary round will consist of three identification classes, three judging classes, the 25-question exam, and one reasons class. In the preliminary round, in the case of a tie, the arrangements judging class will be used as the tiebreaker. The top 12 teams will be notified and emailed directly after the preliminary round tabulations. Preliminary round scores will be added to the final round scores for construction. ClassesThe contest will be scored on 900 points per individual/3600 points per team.

Hunter, Delmar Cengage LearningAIFD Guide to Floral Design: Terms, Techniques and Traditions by AIFDPrinciples of Floral Design by Pat Diehl Scace and James DelPrinceJudging/Construction Terms Which May Need ExplanationCultural Perfection - the physical appearance of the plant clearly indicates the skill of the grower.Pot to Plant Relationship - plant should be in proportion to the size of the pot. Rule of thumb, plant should be 1 1/2 times that of the pot.Balance - A visual stability created by the placement of weight and attraction in the arrangement. A physical balance of the completed arrangement.Color Harmony - Colors used which work well together and reinforce the overall design.Depth - Placing flowers further back from the central vertical axis to create a change of plane.Focal Point - Created by the placement of one or more mass flowers at the middle of the design, on the rim of the container.Form - Designing an arrangement of the proposed form (i.e., symmetrical triangle)Proportion - The size relationship between elements of the whole.Radiation - Stems should originate (radiate) from the central vertical axis.Rhythm - How the viewer's eye flows through the arrangement as a response to the flow of material and color.Scale - Size relationship of the individual component parts.Spacing - The flowers at the focal point are the closest together and as you move away from the focal point, the flowers are progressively spaced farther and farther apart.Texture - The reaction to the surface of the material; rough, smooth, glossy, dull.?

Selected flowers will be provided for each student and each will be free to choose from an assortment of foliage and necessary materials made available by the team coach/advisor. Judging will be done over Zoom through the camera.Team Coaches/Advisors will set up an appropriate workspace for all 4 contestants and set up a Zoom Camera that will allow the contest officials to monitor the construction.Teams that Qualify for Construction will be scheduled a time to enter the Zoom Waiting room. Once admitted the contest official will begin the construction time.At the end of the allotted construction time the team will be sent to the Construction Judging Breakout Room. The official judges will be present and each contestant will present their hand-tied bouquet to the camera. Judges will request the student rotate and display parts of the design for evaluation. Once all team members bouquets have been scored, the team will exit the Zoom. Flowers to CarryA flower bouquet will be constructed by each student. Each student will construct a hand tied bouquet to be carried. The contest site will determine the design style of the bouquet, either spiral or parallel. Appropriate lines, mass, filler flowers, and foliage will be provided in the supply package provided for the construction portion by the team coach/advisor.The flowers to carry category includes bouquets to be held for special events and should be appropriate in size, weight, and design to be suitable for such use.Finished bouquets should be adequately secured and appropriately finished and ready for delivery to a customer.The following scorecard will be used to evaluate each bouquet:FLOWERS TO CARRYPOINTSA.
