  • 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!

  • Tuesday, September 22, 11 am – 1:30 pm – Lunch at the Farmer’s Market

    What’s so special about local farmer’s markets?  See for yourself in this hands-on class lunchtime visit to the farmer’s market, where you will discuss the benefits of buying locally grown produce, ways to get the most for your money, and some shopping rules of thumb.  Then, depending on what’s available at the market that day, you’ll return to the BCAE with fruits and vegetables to taste, and learn to cook some dishes with a bounty of farm-fresh ingredients.  Meet at 11 at the Boston Center for Adult Education, 122 Arlington Street.  The instructor is Leah Bloom, and the cost is $45 plus $18 for materials.  BCAE members enjoy a discount on the class cost, paying $39 plus the materials fee.  To register, and for more information, log on to www.bcae.org.
