Wreath of the Day – Boston Committee Raffle Wreaths

by

Each year we donate gift certificates to the Boston Committee of the Garden Club of America (http://www.bostoncommitteegca.org/) for the benefit of its Blossom Fund, which provides seed money for public projects in Greater Boston. Please visit their website to see the many vital landscaping enhancements they have helped create. The Garden Club of the Back Bay, while not a GCA club, is an affiliate member of the Boston Committee. Below is a wreath made for one of this year’s raffle winners, who specified her wreath should have no bow, and be all natural. Almost $3,000 annually is collected through the raffles, and we thank all who participate.
