From the Archives: Victorian Flower Show at Webster House

by

In December of 1972, The Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts sponsored a Victorian Flower Show in the Webster House on Commonwealth Avenue.  The Garden Club of the Back Bay members staffed this show as guides, clad in Victorian costume.  We seem to have specialized in dressing up as Victorians in our early years – we did so again in June of 1980 as part of the Afternoon in Victorian Boston, 350 Boston Jubilee.  We would love to see examples from that exhibit – if you have an image, please email info@gardenclubbackbay.org.
