Meanwhile, SMK Negeri 2 Batu has developed several products to be marketed and is a place for students to study entrepreneurship. However, there are problems in getting market demand due to intense competition. Therefore, production requires continuous innovation and creativity. This new method is offered to increase grades by teaching them the skills of a modern dry herbarium using waste flowers from the surrounding environment.
