Each year we donate many gift certificates for fully decorated wreaths to not for profit organizations around the City. It’s a tough job keeping track of them, since the groups rarely inform us of the name of the high bidder or raffle winner, so we rely on the fact that someone will be in touch, following the instructions on the certificates we provide. However, inevitably we get a call after wreath week from a hopeful person who never looked at the envelope or perhaps didn’t receive anything but a telephone call from the group raffling the prize, and of course, because all our supplies are now safely tucked away in storage, there is disappointment. This year was no exception, but we were pleased to offer a raincheck to one lucky lady from the Brookline Garden Club, who is now, officially, our first customer for 2020. Below is a very glamorous example of a wreath she might choose next season, although we don’t ever copy from one year to another. We can, however, try to recapture the spirit of an admired wreath. There are many pictures on our website which are inspirational.
