Holiday Wreath On-Line Ordering – A Revised Method
We’ve been having some problems with our on-line wreath store – checking out is hard to do. Since this is the final week before we begin making our beautiful holiday wreaths, we have scrambled for a solution, and have one. You may still click on to On-Line Wreath Store on the menu above and print the order form. Then simply fill it out and fax it to Francine Crawford at 617-249-1762. Payment can be made directly through PayPal, www.paypal.com, if you wish. Log in (or create an account if you don’t already have one – it’s safe and secure) and click Send Money, then fill in elisabethlay@comcast.net as the Payee. (Your receipt will show the payment goes to The Garden Club of the Back Bay). Put in the amount due, designate it is for Goods, and you’re all set. Or, you may mail a check made out to The Garden Club of the Back Bay, Inc. to Francine Crawford, 421 Beacon St., Boston, MA 02115. You may also email your order information (for instance, one fully decorated standard indoor wreath with red bow & gold accents) to info@bostonflora.com, and we’ll quickly confirm your order and get back to you with delivery or pick up information. You may mail a check, pay with PayPal, or bring your payment with you if you are picking up your wreath at The First Lutheran Church of Boston, 299 Berkeley Street, Boston. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Garden Club of the Back Bay Holiday Wreaths – Supporting Environmental Awareness
Part of the mission statement of The Garden Club of the Back Bay is to educate the public on horticultural and environmental issues. In furtherance of that mission, we organize an annual series of lectures and meetings with prominent speakers. Guests are welcome and encouraged to attend almost all meetings, which are listed on the Calendar page of this website (scroll down past the calendar grid for complete descriptions).  We love a theme, and this year we are exploring the topic of “The Ethical Gardener.” Should we garden organically? Should we design our gardens with native plantings? Should be buy food locally from the farmers markets or CSA’s? Do our floral centerpieces need to be made with imported tropical blooms with a high carbon footprint? What about saving the birds by drinking shade grown bird friendly coffee? So many issues, and not all of them are clear cut. Proceeds from our wreath sales help subsidize the contributions we make to the organizations (mostly not for profit) who provide the speakers for our programs. Please do plan a trip into the Back Bay on one of our meeting days, and know that all are welcome to join our Club. We have no geographic restrictions on membership! To order a wreath or poinsettia, click here.
