Landscape Entry

Savannah's FFA group at school decided to enter the landscape design competition at the fair this year. Unfortunately, they had only a couple weeks to prepare since they didn't know about the deadlines. But, they still did a great job, especially for such short notice. They did a feng shwa (or however you spell it) theme. Don't ask me anything about it, just look it up online. Anyway, here's some pictures of them setting it up and the finished project.

Here, the kids are setting it up, with Levi's help. More setting up. In the foreground, Ashton and Gina are desperately trying to get the fountain to work. It never did.

The finished product. None of the students could be there the night of the judging, so Savannah was the group's representative. Here she is, just before the judging. The landscape looked great and was very original.

Here she is explaining the theme to the judges and answering their questions. We don't know how the team placed, but they didn't win. Thankfully, the judges gave Savannah many hints for next year's entry, on how to obtain plants and decorations from local nurseries. That will come in very handy, as this year the group bought everything themselves.

It was a lot of fun for the students and they are looking forward to next year's competition!
