The original idea behind Floral Design Day marked Carl Rittner's birthday.
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 markedly impacted thousands of students from all over the globe.
It was significant when Governor Weld of Massachusetts proclaimed Floral Design Day as part of Mr. Rittner's special birthday celebration.
The holiday celebrates floral design as an art form. Floral design spans thousands of years in diversity and style, reflecting various social, religious, and cultural trends. It plays a vital role in social interactions, decorating, and in establishing and maintaining relationships.
The floral industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry that brightens, which peaks during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day.
