Holiday Centerpiece Workshop

Author: Kristin Hildabrand

Planning Unit: Warren County CES

Major Program: Home & Consumer Horticulture

Plan of Work: Horticulture

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Warren County Extension Service hosted a hands-on workshop on how to make a do-it-yourself (DIY) holiday centerpiece using fresh greenery to help citizens get ready for the holiday season. In the educational workshop, 27 interested participants learned how to arrange stems of evergreens collected from the Kentucky landscape in order to create a holiday centerpiece. The Extension Office asked the Western Kentucky Floral and Design Training Center in the community to present the program.

After the program, participants were given a post-evaluation survey to gather information and measure what they learned. From those people surveyed, results showed 96% of participants gained new knowledge on how to create a centerpiece. It also showed that participants valued their centerpieces an average of $30.00 each multiplied by 26 people is a total of $780.00. By offering this workshop through the Cooperative Extension office, participants learned a new skill, took home a beautiful centerpiece to enjoy during the holidays, and gained the satisfaction that they did it themselves!
