Creating Art Through Floral Design

Floral Design Day was instituted to pay homage Carl Rittner, a visionary in the floral industry and founder of the Rittner's School of Design here in Boston. The purpose of the day is to celebrate floral designing as an art form, as well as to recognize those whose talent, skill and creative eye make life a little more beautiful every day. The expert designers at Central Square Florist often work behind the scenes, so we thought we would use this opportunity to thank them for their gorgeous designs that enrich so many lives in Cambridge and beyond.  Read More about Creating Art Through Floral Design »
