​     Congrats to the 2022 Montezuma FFA Floriculture team for their third place finish at state! This team dedicated lots of time and hard work to learning about horticulture production, plant identification, and problem solving with FFA Advisor Hannah Garland this spring and summer. Additionally, they had the opportunity to make a variety of plant arrangements with the help of Jennifer Schuur, owner of Montezuma Floral.
      “I enjoy helping the kids,” said Schuur, who was in FFA floriculture in high school. “I am thankful for the opportunity to pass my knowledge on. It is fun to see the students development from day one until the competition.”
       Individual rankings: Bryson Stockman, third; Brady Boulton, 13th, Ellen Cook, 14th, and Jordan Ranfeld, 27th.
