Garden Club of the Back Bay Holiday Wreaths – Black Friday

Today is the day America shops online, or so we’re told.  Here is your chance to do your part.  By clicking HERE you may print an order form for our 2010 holiday wreaths, and then fax it to 617-249-1762, or email your name, address, and order information to info@gardenclubbackbay.org.  Or put it right in the snail mail to Francine Crawford, 421 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02115.  How easy is that?   Our decorated wreaths are masterfully done – the picture below illustrates the detailed work which goes into each wreath.  Remember, wreaths make great gifts as well. Take a rest this holiday, let us decorate your home and the  homes of your friends and family, then brag about how you finished your shopping by the end  of November.  We thank you most deeply for your anticipated support!
