Floriculture & Nursery/ Landscape ID Contests  

This is great practice for the area competitions.  Students competing in the ID contests will have 30 mins to identify 25 plants and 5-10 tiebreakers.  The 25 plants will come directly from the GA FFA Contest ID list.  The tie-breakers will be equipment (Jr & Sr), disorders (Jr & Sr), and plants that also come directly from that event's identification list. 

  • Each school may enter up to 10 students in Floriculture and up to 10 students in Nursery Landscape. 
  • **NEW THIS YEAR** - teams will be made up of 5 students, with the top 4 scores counting towards the team score
  • Example: A single school may enter 10 floriculture students - 5 entries may be junior division, and 5 may be senior division, OR 10 juniors division only OR 10 senior division only
  Jr and Sr Floriculture ID and Jr and Sr Nursery/ Landscape ID will be held on Tuesday, October 10th.  All ID events will take place inside the
 
BEEF & DAIRY ARENA.

Teams will be assigned competition times once the fair receives your registration.  You will receive a separate email from me after registration closes regarding your assigned time. Competition times range from 10:00am - 2:00pm.
