Flower Arranging
Hi, my name is Hannah Padgett. I’m a senior in Agronomy: Crop and Soil Management. Growing up I have always liked flowers. If you look through my photos you can find tons of flowers. This summer I got engaged so on top of my school work I am planning my wedding. With planning my wedding, the thing I’m most excited about is the flowers. I love real flowers and lilies are my favorite. I love to see how many different colored lilies I can find in the ditches close to home.
I got the opportunity my freshman year to take a flower arranging class. That class was HORT 360: Floral Design and Interior Plant Management. Each week in lab you got to make a flower arrangement to take home and in the first class we produced our own succulents to take care of. Within this class you learn use the color wheel to learn about color schemes and how colors are used to invoke an emotion. You learn about all the elements that product the beautiful arrangements you can purchase. You learn about how to take care of houseplants and you take one home to see if it can survive the semester with it. You learn about the diseases or pests that can affected the health of your plants. I have included photos of my adventures in this class. I still have the dried flower wreath that I made in class hanging on my bedroom door.
