Arrangement

Floral Arrangement (100 Points per Contestant)

Make a $35 flower arrangement. The type of arrangement will be selected from the following list:

• Round Centerpiece

• Triangle (non-centerpiece)

• Horizontal

Each will be made using a 1/3 brick container. Use the materials provided. Participants will be allowed 25 minutes to complete their arrangements (85 points) and itemized bills (15 points).

Participants will be provided the retail price of the flowers and foliage they will use in their arrangements by the event assistant at the beginning of the practicum. The markup will be built into the retail price of the flowers and foliage used in the arrangement. When the participant has determined the total arrangement cost, he or she has already included the markup. Retail cost of flowers and foliage given to the participant will be determined after polling florists to determine their current retail prices on the flowers and foliage used in the event. A 50 cent over/under with no penalty rule for the arrangement scorecard.
