HTC Greenhouse Get-together and Alumni Reunion
The HTC Greenhouse Get-together and Alumni Reunion took place on May 6 at the lower greenhouse. Those attending were treated to a picnic meal prepared by volunteer chefs Martin Pemberton and Jon Baxter. Tours of the greenhouse and a preview of the annual Plant Sale were also a part of the event. John Turrittin, retired Landscape faculty, presented a short history of the Landscape program.
A special thanks to Deb Kvamme, Jay Siedschlaw and their students for all they did to prepare the greenhouse and grounds for the event.

Love in Bloom
HTC's Floral Design program combined two ideas into one great event by hosting its second floral design show and alumni reunion on March 5 at the Brooklyn Park Campus. Three hundred guests attended the wedding-themed event that featured light refreshments complete with wedding cake.
Floral students, graduates and industry professionals were invited to create a floral design to enter into the design competitions. Winning designs were selected by those in attendance.
The highlight of the evening was the Floral Design Show that featured four designers showcasing their wedding designs. Volunteers dressed in wedding finery presented the designs to the audience. A big thank you to the floral vendors and wholesalers who donated many of the materials needed for the floral designs and door prizes.
Proceeds from the sale of the floral designs featured in the show will be used to support scholarships for Floral Design students.
Next year's floral design show and alumni reunion is being planned for sometime in late February or early March 2010.
Show Sponsors:
Hermes Floral
Koehler and Dramm
