Wreath of the Day – Survey Question

Below is a picture of a wreath captured during a recent walk through Beacon Hill. A member referred to it as the Mies van der Rohe of wreath design. The body of the wreath is closely clipped greenery, and the decorations are minimalist. We actually quite like it, but question whether our customers would be interested in such a creation, or if they would think we were being a little lazy and frugal with our decorations? Feel free to weigh in at info@gardenclubbackbay.org.


Saturday, January 15, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm – Diversify Your Lawn

Who says lawns need to be monocultures or only made of grasses? Enrich the traditional lawn with other complementary plants that bloom at different times and add intrigue. Learn how to identify the plants that already grow in lawn as “weeds,” and to incorporate new plants that create a rich, wildlife-friendly tapestry. The Native Plant Trust webinar taught by Anna Fialkoff will take place January 15 from 1 – 2, and is $12 for NPT members, $15 for nonmembers.
