On Tuesday May 14, 2013, the Vinton-Shellsburg FFA Chapter had nine girls go to Hawkeye Community College to participate in District Floriculture. At Hawkeye, the girls were scored in the following areas: General Knowledge, Plant Identification, Floral Design, Floriculture Production, Pesticide Use and Application, and Problem Solving. Overall it was a good and fun experience, and helped us continue to prepare to send four girls to State Floriculture on June 11, 2013 at Kirkwood Community College. Our girls placed in the following areas:
