Achievements Learning Center’s pre-kindergarten class celebrated the first day of spring. Laura Rosich, our Senior Designer, volunteered to teach the children about the growth of flowers in spring, and instructed the children on how florists re-create the beauty of nature with our design techniques. It wasn’t long before the children realized how much fun our profession really is!

Each child was supplied with a basket and liner, floral foam, pre-selected cut flowers and greenery. Laura started by showing them how to prepare and green each basket and then followed with complimenting flowers and placement guidelines. The kids got to take it from there and use their creativity. Laura then surprised them with bows and butterflies, and they got the biggest kick out of how much that did to the designs they created. After hearing about thestory from Laura, I am not sure who had more fun. She really enjoyed the happiness this brought to the classroom which really reflects on how special, and what an impact, flowers can make in a person’s life.
