The Floriculture team also competed and used the contest as a building block for the future. Teams had to identify quite a number of greenhouse, garden, and houseplants, take a written knowledge based test, place two classes of saleable plants, and set up a bud vase with a saleable display.

Team results were: 1st Hancock – 2014 pts, 2nd Battle Lake – 1948 pts, 3rd Parkers Prairie – 1927 pts, 4th Morris Area – 1824 pts, 5th B-B-E – 1428 pts, and 6th West Central Area – 363 pts.
