Florida FFA is pleased to announce the results of the 2012 State Ornamental Horticulture Career Development Event (CDE). The event was held April 27, 2012 at the University of Florida in Gainesville. 98 teams and individuals from throughout Florida gathered to compete for the top spot. The purpose of the Ornamental Horticulture event is to stimulate careful planning, thorough knowledge and the ability to explain, by work and action, the “how and why” of various horticulture practices. Florida FFA is very appreciative of the support of our event coordinator Dr. Ed Osborne, as well as the students, faculty and staff of the Agricultural Education and Communication department.
As a matter of procedure, event results are considered unofficial for (2) business days following publishing. It is the responsibility of the FFA Advisor to request and review individual team results. Any appeal must be made to the FFA Executive Secretary in writing for necessary adjustments to be made. At the close of business on the second business day following publishing, results will be official.
