Success StoryHoliday Wreaths



Holiday Wreaths

Author: Lori Bowling

Planning Unit: Boyd County CES

Major Program: Home & Consumer Horticulture

Plan of Work: Best Management Practices in Home Horticulture

Outcome: Initial Outcome

~~The horticulture Extension program offered a greenery/wreath making program designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for individuals to create a holiday wreath for their home or business.  During the 2week long event there were over 500 wreaths made with 425 participants from 3 states and 7 Kentucky counties.  As a result of this community program over 100 of the participants had never used the Extension Service before and at least 12 were added to current program mailing lists.  We also had 6 individuals inquire about the Master Gardener Program with 3 signing up to take the upcoming course.  This program has proven to be a great community building program and also an advertising tool for the Boyd County Cooperative Extension Service as a whole.
