The Plymouth FFA Chapter was named the state winning Nursery/Landscape Career Development Event Team. Team members include Trever Marquardt, Cole Anderson, Austin Lau and Jessy Pritzlaff. Their advisors are Tracy Heinbuch and Katelynn Sibley. Additionally, the top individual was Makenna Schuebel from the Stanley -Boyd FFA. Schuebel’s advisor is Jordan Donnerbauer.

The Nursery/Landscape CDE tests students’ skills related to horticultural principles through plant identification of specimens by both their technical and common names, a multiple-choice test, and hands-on activities which include landscape drawing, interpersonal relations, and nursery operation practices.

Plymouth will now represent Wisconsin FFA in competition at the National FFA Career Development Events to be held in November in Indianapolis, Indiana during the 96th National FFA Convention. The Nursery/Landscape CDE is sponsored on the state level by the Wisconsin FFA Convention Partners. The National sponsors are Kubota and Haviland Plastic Products .

All CDEs engage students in developing their communication, decision-making, and teamwork skills to promote future career success.
