  • Garden Club of the Back Bay Wreath of the Day – Ribbons of Every Color

    Our ribbon selection is extensive, but we must warn you that each year the supply changes, so we can never promise an exact duplicate of a wreath or bow you may see on this web site.  The dark gold pictured here is especially handsome.
