What is the day today?
Floral Design Day!
Floral Design Day was created as a unique way to celebrate Carl Rittner's birthday. He was the founder of The Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston and a pioneer in floral art education. So on this day we celebrate floral design as an art form.
Floral design is a proud art form that has spanned thousands of years, with a diversity of styles reflecting varying social, religious, and cultural trends.
The floral industry is a multibillion dollar industry that brightens our lives at such holidays as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines' Day, Mother's Day & Secretaries Day as well as on an every day basis, and in so doing, contributes to our economy.
