Garden Club of the Back Bay Holiday Wreaths – Natural Materials
We are always happy to showcase beautiful natural materials on the wreaths we make during Wreath Week, December 6 – 9 this year. Where do we find these materials, you may ask, since we live in such an urban environment? Well, some of us are fortunate enough to have a weekend home or a summer place, or better yet, friends and relatives with a weekend home and a summer place. We also take trips out to public parks (with permission, naturally!), and have been know to scavenge on road sides. We walk by friends’ suburban yards with a gleam in our eye and pruners in our pockets. Supporters have been known to mail us leaves, pods and cones when on their travels. We buy half dead flowers in the deep discount bin at the flower market, and beg for wilting arrangements from our hairdressers’ front desks. Even in the middle of the summer, as we sit on a beach, we’re fingering some interesting shells and wondering if we can drill a hole in it without cracking the entire piece. Some may say we’re obsessed. Please consider ordering one of our beautiful creations – the order form is right HERE.
