As orders come in, The Garden Club of the Back Bay wreath chairs determine what materials will be needed to execute our sales. Basic balsam wreaths in a variety of sizes are ordered in advance, as well as some miscellaneous greens not native to New England, such as the magnolia leaves featured in the wreath below. Wire, picks, and ribbon are also acquired from a wholesale source. Some of us are savvy shoppers and don’t pass up a sale opportunity at places as diverse as Ocean State Job Lots, The Christmas Tree Shoppes, even eBay, our primary source for feathers.
