Ideal Greenhouse
We have discussed the major points of locating, designing,
and operating a greenhouse structure.
You now need to make a diagram/ drawing/ or model of your ideal
greenhouse.
The following considerations must be incorporated into the
drawing and then discussed in a paper that explains the design.
1. Location: where and why is it located there. Remember to think about latitude and
longitude, topography, climate, light intensity etc.
2. Zoning: In relation to you local position where are
you? (residential, commercial, industrial, urban vs. rural etc.)
3. Water system: What drain and water
supply do you have? Where is it located,
how is it provided to plants?
4. Greenhouse type: Quonset, Gothic Arch,
Connected, Even Span, etc.
5. Greenhouse covering: Polyethelyne,
lexan, FRP, Glass ……
6. Heat system: Fuel used, heater type,
location, thermostats, fog heat, steam, hot water, etc.
7. Business type: Research, retail,
wholesale, personal use ….
8. Cooling system: Vents, evaporative
cooling pads, fans, air conditioners, shade cloths etc. …
9. Circulation system: Keep the air moving and evenly cooled/heated.
10. Lights:
Do you need any? What type,
where located?
11. Internal setup: Table locations, use of
space etc.
12. Access:
Roads, Parking, Utilities etc.
Has anything important
been forgotten???
Explain the situation in which you choose to operate your
greenhouse and then design it for that situation. Make sure to consider all 12 factors listed
above. Think about how each will affect
the others. Design for me the most
ideal greenhouse for your situation.

History
of Floral Design
Directions:
You
will choose 2 time eras (pg 28-43 in the Principles of Floral Design textbook). Your first task is to read your sections and
become “experts” on your time era. Next,
you will gather information and pictures to create a poster. Put your information for both time era’s on
the same poster. You will present these
posters to the class so make sure the pictures and print are large enough to
read from the back of the classroom.
***You
will be graded on not only having all of the required information but on the
neatness and quality of your poster.
Take your time and make it look nice! ***
Your poster should have the following
information for EACH time era:
1.)
A description about the design
schemes used in that era. Describe what
the floral arrangements looked like, the type of flowers they used, popular
colors, types of vases or pots they used, etc.
2.)
If your book lists events that
arrangements were used at, list them
3.)
If your book lists why certain
flowers were used, explain the meaning/history/symbolism
4.)
Find 2 pictures of arrangements from
EACH time era
5.)
Make sure there is a title with the
time period (example: ROME 28 BC-325 CE)
List your 2 time era’s here and any
notes you take while reading your section:
