Holiday Wreaths – The Final Week to Order

This is it, folks.  Next Thursday, November 28, is our wreath deadline date, and The Garden Club of the Back Bay doesn’t want you to miss your opportunity to order a luxurious fully decorated holiday wreath.  We hate to nag, but we’ll nag you now.  You may be able to stop by during wreath week and pick up a plain wreath, or a wreath with bow, if supplies last, but we limit the number of fully decorated wreaths to 225, and we are almost at that number today.  Don’t delay!  Click here for ordering information.
