A floral recipe for career-based learning

students working on floral arrangements

Students in Michaela Kehrer’s Floral/Landscape Design class at BKW Secondary School recently completed a career-based learning project while creating arrangements for an ARC employee appreciation celebration.

Jess Beretz from Farmhouse Floral Design in Middleburgh offered her expertise as a professional floral designer and worked with the students to produce mason jar bouquets while following a floral “recipe.”

Jess also explained to students how market pricing is determined for arrangements, and she provided them with advice and suggestions while they completed their individual arrangements.

The students are in grades 9 through 12.
