The Garden Club of the Back Bay’s wreath project is one of two fundraising activities we plan each year, the other being our early summer Twilight Garden Party. The net proceeds from wreath week are used to plant, prune, and care for the street trees of the Back Bay. Therefore, since we wish to maximize our profits, we encourage walk in orders for wreaths with bows, or just plain wreaths. Unfortunately, we cannot sell fully decorated wreaths during wreath week – these must be ordered in advance. Our time at the Church is limited, and the number of fully decorated wreath orders we accept is also limited. Many who come by are so impressed by our output that they want to buy a decorated wreath on the spot, and are disappointed. We put names on our mailing list and those who are interested will receive an order form next fall. If anyone reading this post wishes to be put on the mailing list, simply email info@gardenclubbackbay.org with your name and address. The wreath below, a fantasy of copper and gold, received much attention from members and customers this year, and probably will be a much requested “look” next season.
