The Garden Club of the Back Bay’s annual fundraiser, the Twilight Garden Party – Caring for our City Trees, will be held this year on Tuesday May 19th, 6pm-8:30pm at the St. Botolph Club, 199 Commonwealth Avenue.
Urban trees, particularly street trees, are under stress now like never before. A primary mission of our Club is to care for the trees of our city, particularly in the Back Bay. Your generous support will go toward sustaining and increasing the green canopy that cleans our air, filters our water, cools our temperatures and restores our souls. In addition, your gift will support our mission to promote civic beauty and educate the public.
This year, through the support of friends like you, we have:
This and so much more cannot be done without your continued financial support.
When the Founder of our Club, Laura Dwight, pulled together friends, neighbors, businesses, college students and landlords to help revitalize a declining Back Bay in the 1960’s by organizing and planting most of the Magnolia and Dogwood trees that you see on Commonwealth Avenue today, our mission was clear: honor and care for the trees and greenspaces of Back Bay.
Won’t you please help us support that mission by becoming a sponsor to the Twilight Garden Party?

Co-chairs Stephanie Fletcher, Mary Carty, Carrie Pelzel, and Susan Viano are pleased to announce the date of this year’s Garden Club of the Back Bay spring benefit, the Twilight Garden Party: Caring For Our City Trees. We will return to the beautiful St. Botolph Club, 199 Commonwealth Avenue, on Wednesday, May 1 from 6 – 8:30. Planning is underway, and Garden Club members who wish to lend a hand are encouraged to let us know at info@bostonflora.com. Details will follow in the coming months, but put the party on your calendars now!
We designed a wreath for the inner front door of the St. Botolph Club, where this year’s Twilight Garden Party – Caring For Our City Trees will be held on May 1. The St. Botolph Club is known for its artist/writer/composer members, and the ribbon was perfectly chosen, threaded with musical notes and natural materials. A shot of it on the door may be seen on our Instagram feed.
The 2018 Twilight Garden Party will be held Tuesday, June 5th, from 6 – 8:30 pm at the historic St. Botolph Club, 199 Commonwealth Avenue in Back Bay. Designed by McKim, Mead and White, the Club’s beautiful, historic interior is a perfect setting for our annual fund raising event.
The Garden Club of the Back Bay is committed to the trees and greens spaces of our historic Back Bay neighborhood. We work hard all year to keep the trees healthy and beautiful for future generations of Bostonians and visitors. Trees provide us with healthy air to breathe and a shady path to walk. This spring we embark on a new and exciting project in partnership with the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department, planting 23 new trees in the last block of Marlborough Street (between Massachusetts Avenue and Charlesgate East.) The Marlborough Street Tree Project is even more ambitious than our very successful Clarendon Street Tree Project. The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay and the Charlesgate Alliance heartily endorse us.
This year we are launching a new website, BackBayTrees.org, that will serve as a visual, online database of all trees in the Back Bay.
