In 2023, long time Garden Club of the Back Bay member Laurie Carter Noble passed away. Laurie will be remembered for many things, but she was especially noted for her beautifully designed and heavily decorated holiday wreaths created for the Club during its annual wreath week sale. The example below is an unexpectedly restrained design from 2014. A remembrance of Laurie may be found at https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/chatham-ma/hannelore-noble-11367075 Laurie always said the Season didn’t begin until she spent four days immersed in greens, cones, and ribbon in the basement of The First Lutheran Church of Boston.
