A bit of history courtesy of https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-floral-design-day-february-28/
“Floral Design Day was created as a unique way to celebrate a special birthday of Carl Rittner, the founder of the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston over 60 years ago. Mr. Rittner is a pioneer in floral art education.”
In 1995, Governor William F. Weld of Massachusetts, proclaimed this day as Floral Design Day.
