Cedarcrest High School’s FFA floral design team placed third and tenth at the state floral design competition in Snohomish recently. Approximately 150 high school students from around the state took part in the competition.

Alice Ish placed seventh as an individual.

“Hard work, determination, and a year-long commitment, are what it takes to be competitive in the FFA floral design competitions,” said Cedarcrest High School’s FFA advisor, Sarah Thomas.

The students competed in scenarios involving floral design, nursery repotting, plant identification, bidding and estimating, merchandising and sales. They were graded not only on the outcomes of their assigned scenarios but also on their teamwork.
