Central Lakes College Horticulture Students “Petal It Forward”

20 Central Lakes College horticulture students hit the streets of the Brainerd Lakes Area to hand out 600 bouquets of flowers as part of the “Petal It Forward” program. The program is a partnership with the Society of American Florists, which CLC is a member of.

“I just love people and making people happy,” said CLC’s Horticulture Club President Quinn Mathisen. “That’s kind of my favorite part of the day.”

The students had four hours to visit popular spots like CLC’s Brainerd campus, downtown Brainerd, downtown Nisswa and Cub Foods in Brainerd and Baxter.
