DESCRIPTION:

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.

It was particularly meaningful when Gov. 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 an important role in social interactions, in decorating and establishing and maintaining relationships.

The floral industry is a multibillion dollar industry that brightens which peaks during Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines' Day and Mother's Day.
