The original idea behind Floral Design Day marked the celebration of Carl Rittner's birthday, the founder of Rittners School of Floral Design
Mr. "R" as his students affectionately called him, founded The Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston over sixty years ago, and was a pioneer in floral art education. Through the years, his humor, patience and wealth of floral industry knowledge have had a marked impact upon thousands of students from all over the globe.
