Flowers and Floats 4-H Summer Fun Workshop


Camaryn Byrum, 4-H Agent

On Friday, July 2, 2021, eight local youth participated in a 4-H Summer Fun workshop. The workshop, Flowers and Floats, was taught by Katy Shook, Area Horticulture Agent, and Cynthia Wagoner, Master Gardener℠ volunteer in Gates County.

Wagoner guided youth through creating a red, white, and blue-themed floral arrangement. Red carnations, white daisies, dipped blue chrysanthemums, magnolia, wax myrtle, and privet were used to create the arrangements. Shook led a discussion about the specific flowers and greenery used for the arrangements. To wrap up the afternoon, youth enjoyed root beer floats.
