ATHENA — First-year Weston-McEwen High School FFA instructor Madelin Muilenburg wanted her horticulture class to take on a big project this year, so she obtained a rapid-response grant from the Wildhorse Foundation to make corsages and boutonnieres for the upcoming prom.

“I didn’t take horticulture or any classes like it in High School, I was more of an animal kid,” Muilenburg said. “I went to my co-ag teacher and I asked her what she thought would be a good project for a horticulture class, she said floral design.”
