Wednesday, February 26, 10:00 am – Tour of Prudential Center Winter Gardens

by

Please join other members of The Garden Club of the Back Bay for a tour of the Prudential Center’s winter gardens, led by Winston Flowers Kelly Bonzani on Wednesday, February 26th, at 10 am.

On July 1, 2019, Winston Flowers began maintaining and revitalizing the winter gardens. Come learn about the different areas that have been re-energized with new plantings, and the design, plant and sustainability choices behind each.  

A new seasonal rotation will be going into the Prudential on February 17th, so if you have time to catch what is planted there now, please do so for a “before” perspective.

The tour will last 30-45 minutes. SPACE IS LIMITED TO 10 PARTICIPANTS due to the ambient noise of the Prudential Center. We regret this tour is open only to members – visit our membership page to learn how to become a member. The first 10 people to respond will be notified that your spot has been confirmed. If we have enough interest, we will inquire about scheduling a second tour.

Saturday, February 22, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm – Natural Facial Salve

by

The natural facial salve is a beautiful blend of astringent and healing herbs blended with oils, to create a deeply nourishing facial cream. It is made with only 9 all-natural ingredients, including the flowers of calendula, chamomile, and rose, blended together to create a powerfully healing concoction. The salve is a truly beautiful and simple way to nourish your face and neck to prevent wrinkles, brighten your complexion and reduce pore size. In this Tower Hill Botanical Garden workshop on February 22, you will be provided with all of the necessary ingredients to make a 2 oz. jar of salve as well as information on herbs and essential oils so you will be equipped on how to live a more holistic life beyond the workshop. Be sure to bring a notebook to take notes so you can create more in the future! All materials included.

Tori Cummings began her holistic journey at the age of 17. Her goal was to truly help people feel vibrantly healthy, and she began studying with Sage Mountain and Rosemary Gladstar when she realized she wanted to bring people back to the source of health. Her journey thus far has included becoming an herbalist, a reiki practitioner as well as a yoga instructor.

Jennie Backstrom offers space and thoughtful guidance to her clients who feel stuck or who seek to improve a certain aspect of their life.
