OH116 Advanced Floral Design students finish off Spring Semester 2025 with Grapevine Final Projects! The grapevine was harvested from the floral fields and other growing areas for Ornamental Horticulture, and coiled to dry.

The challenge was to build a 3D shape out of grapevine, manipulate it into a circular design (but NOT a wreath!) and embellish with faux, dried and fresh botanicals.

Enjoy the gallery of amazing creations- from "florals to wear" couture to sculptural hanging gardens, every design is unique!

OH116 students challenged with a "surprise package" of all white flowers! Each student received the same flowers (they didn't know what they were going to get in their buckets!). They brought their choice of vessel and foliages... in one hour, here's a sample of what they designed!

Achromatic color schemes do well with high levels of contrast in Texture. As you can see, varieties of foliage provide interest with smooth, coarse, calm, busy, velvety, etc. all represented in the compositions!
