Congratulations to the Hobbton FFA Floriculture Team for earning 14th Place out of 33 teams at the North Carolina FFA State Convention!

Team members Yazmin, Summer, Angel, and Brittany represented Hobbton FFA well as they competed against some of the top floriculture students in the state. The Floriculture CDE challenges students to identify plants and floral materials, demonstrate their knowledge of the floral industry, complete floral design activities such as creating a three-stem bud vase arrangement, and apply mathematics used in real-world floral business operations.

This contest requires creativity, attention to detail, technical knowledge, and strong problem-solving skills. We are proud of the hard work and dedication these students displayed throughout the year and during competition.

Congratulations to the Hobbton FFA Introduction to Horticulture Team for earning 5th Place out of 34 teams at the North Carolina FFA State Convention today!

The Introduction to Horticulture CDE challenges students to identify plants, weeds, insects, diseases, and other horticultural specimens while demonstrating their knowledge of plant science and industry practices. Competitors must also utilize professional chemical reference manuals to locate information and solve real-world horticulture problems.

This achievement reflects countless hours of studying, practicing, and preparing. We are incredibly proud of these students for their hard work and for representing Hobbton FFA with excellence.

Congratulations Gabbie, Aaron, Haley and Yareli, on an outstanding accomplishment! 🌱💙💛

🌼🌼 Hobbton FFA Mum Sale Preparation Underway! 🌼🌼

Today, five dedicated Hobbton FFA members and one of our summer interns spent the day planting more than 1,000 mum cuttings in preparation for our annual Hobbton FFA Mum Sale!
