Silver Bay Floriculture Team Moves Onto State

I’ve participated in the Silver Bay FFA since 8th grade, with most of my experience being in Floriculture. Floriculture is defined as the cultivation of flowers but often includes any ornamental plants. The competition in 2020, which would have been my first, was canceled due to Covid-19. The 2021 competition was entirely online, and last year I participated in Forestry due to not having enough people to have a Floriculture team. Floriculture has always been my favorite category, so I was determined to be able to participate this year. A few weeks into practicing, we realized that we didn’t have enough people. The minimum amount for a team to participate is 3, although the more the better, and we only had myself and Vesper Robinson. I was able to get Ria Soderstrom to join the team, and so we were able to continue with our practices.
