GLASGOW — Sixteen women went Thursday to the Barren County Extension Office to learn how to make holiday wreaths.

The program was hosted by Barren County’s new horticulture agent Kristin Goodin, who was assisted by Carol Schreiber, horticulture agent for Warren County.

While Schreiber taught eight women how to make the wreaths using live greenery, Goodin taught the remaining eight how to make bows that could be used to decorate the wreaths.

Glasgow resident Krista Steenbergen learned how to make a wreath first.

“I’m just going to learn for myself,” she said, adding the process may be a little bit easier than she first thought it would be.

Steenbergen had never before made a holiday wreath, and neither had Sally Copass, also of Glasgow.

“This is fun,” Copass said. “It’s easier than what I thought it would be, but how it turns out I don’t know. But I think it will be OK.”

Gayle Giesecke, of Hardyville, came to the workshop with her daughter, Elizabeth Harlow of Glasgow; her daughter’s mother-in-law, Shelia Harlow of Glasgow; and her daughter’s sister-in-law, Terri Harlow also of Glasgow.

“We’re just here having a girl’s night and having fun,” Giesecke said.

Giesecke said she works with flower arrangements at home so learning how to make holiday wreaths is a treat.

Once Schreiber had finished showing her group how to make the wreaths and Goodin the bows, they switched so they could teach the other group.

The event was Goodin’s first program as the county’s new horticulture agent.
