The North Union FFA advanced to the Floriculture Career Development (CDE) finals. The competition was held on April 8, 2025 at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus, Ohio.

In the Floriculture CDE, students are required to identify florals, tools and supplies, judge flower arrangements and demonstrate various arrangement skills. A test was also given prior to the state competition to demonstrate knowledge on greenhouse practices and plant management.
