Milwaukee Florist, Welke's House of Roses, Teaching Three Milwaukee Schools This Week

Welke's House of Roses, Milwaukee's best florist will be teaching three Milwaukee Schools this week the joy of flowers in their Flowers For Kids School Program.

The educational program is designed to teach school age children the joy of flowers. The class encompasses a bit of biology, chemistry and most definitely art. By the end of the class the students will be more knowledgeable about the biology and chemistry of flowers, how to treat and care for flowers, how to make flower food. In addition each child will have a hands on workshop where they will be taught how to design a flower arrangement including fillers, lines, focals, greens and flowers. The best part of all each of the students will be able to take home their own flower bouquets.

The course outline also includes why roses have thorns, how flowers make you feel, how small sunflowers are grown, proper flower cutting techniques and so much more.
