We will be happy to sell plain wreaths and wreaths with bows, if supplies last, on site at The First Lutheran Church of Boston, 299 Berkeley Street, during wreath week, December 4 – 7, but today is the final day to order one of our fully decorated wreaths and poinsettia plants. If you have procrastinated, now is the time to act. Our online store will accept orders until early tomorrow morning, after which the window closes. Go to https://bostonflora.com/shop/ immediately!  Thank you all for your support.

The order window for fully decorated wreaths closes November 30. Don’t miss the opportunity today, Cyber Monday, to purchase one of our holiday wreaths or poinsettia plants for yourself or for holiday giving. Remember that all proceeds are funneled into City beautification projects.  Order now at https://bostonflora.com/shop/

Each fully decorated holiday wreath crafted by The Garden Club of the Back Bay is the product of many hours of labor. We did raise our price this season for this category (other items remain at 2015/2016 rates) not because we were trying to maximize profit, but because our limited volunteer pool was having a hard time fulfilling the demand. Wreaths of this size and quality sell for upwards of $240 in high end retail settings, due to the sheer amount of work involved. We hope you all will appreciate the love that goes into each wreath, but also know that our net profit each year goes straight back to the community. Order soon at https://bostonflora.com/shop/

Our third accent choice for this year’s fully decorated wreath orders is the newly minted “Glamorous Glitz.” For years we have been known for our use of glorious natural materials, specifically pine cones, grasses, seed pods, and unusual dried flowers and twigs. These are still very popular, but an explosion of sparkly accents have caught our eye in recent seasons, and we began using them on wreaths destined for our own homes. We were afraid to send out such outrageous designs to unsuspecting customers. However, we began publicizing them on our Wreath of the Day website feature, which runs from shortly after Wreath Week through New Year’s Day, and the feedback was quick and clear – some of you out there (and you know who you are) want glitter and shine.  So this year, for the first time, you may specify Glamorous Glitz as a design option.

As we pointed out recently, purchasers of our fully decorated holiday wreaths may choose All Natural as a decorating option, in addition to choice of bow color. Below is an example of a fully decorated indoor wreath with plaid bow and all natural accents.  Why is this an indoor wreath? The tiny cream colored dried flower stems poking out between the pine cones, milkweed pods, and rose hips are fragile, and might not stand up well in a high wind. This isn’t to say it couldn’t do very well under a porch or overhang – but hanging it on the side of a barn in a windswept area might be problematic. Order early at https://bostonflora.com/shop/ All proceeds benefit the trees, both here in the Back Bay, on the Esplanade, in the Public Garden and Boston Commons, on the Emerald Necklace, in Copley Place, and everywhere we send support annually. It’s all about the trees.
