National Floral Design Day
February 28, 2023 All day
February 28th is National Floral Design Day!
National Floral Design Day is celebrated on February 28th every year to recognize and appreciate the art and beauty of floral design. The day was created to pay tribute to Carl Rittner, the founder of the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston, who devoted his life to teaching and promoting floral design as a legitimate art form.
Floral design involves creating arrangements of flowers, foliage, and other decorative elements to produce a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result. It has a long and rich history, dating back to ancient civilizations like Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Today, floral design is widely practiced and enjoyed as a creative and therapeutic hobby, as well as a professional career.
On National Floral Design Day, people are encouraged to appreciate the artistry of floral design, learn more about its history and techniques, and create their own arrangements to share with others. It is also a day to recognize the contributions of floral designers and the beauty they bring to the world.
