The benefits of membership – show your support of the Back Bay neighborhood by joining The Garden Club of the Back Bay and be eligible to participate in festive events like the Annual Winter Tea at the Courtyard Restaurant at the Boston Public Library on Boylston Street. The tea is a Members’ Only event, so act now. For information visit https://bostonflora.com/
The Garden Club’s Annual Winter Tea is always our most popular member event and we’re going to hold it this year – virtually. Please join our club presidents Catherine Bordon and Tracey Cannistraro on ZOOM for a chance to say hello to old friends and meet our new members.
Many of us are far away, in different states and towns. We will all come together for a short visit, then break out into small groups for more intimate conversations. After about 20 minutes, we’ll reshuffle so we can chat with other members. This will give us an opportunity to catch up with each other’s lives.
So pull out your finest tea cups and tea pots. Maybe wear a hat! Make some tea sandwiches and scones but don’t forget the clotted cream. Perhaps, in this time of Covid Cocktails, you’d prefer a glass of Champagne or a mug of hot mulled cider with bourbon … whatever makes it festive and special for you.
