Due to ongoing public health concerns, people wishing to participate in the wreath-making session virtually will have the option of arranging to pick up all the supplies they need to make their holiday wreaths at home. If needed, a zoom session will be provided giving a short demonstration on how to make a wreath base, followed by a segment by floral designer extraordinaire Lisa Ahern on how to embellish the base and turn it into a showstopper! Wreath kits for virtual attendees will be available for pick-up Wednesday, December 8 and Thursday, December 9; call to make arrangements.

This month, we will again offer extra open hours on the Second Saturday and Sunday in October.

Because of the more elaborate Familyfest activities planned for the afternoon of the 9th, this month's open hours will be limited to 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. For more information, call 617-333-0924 x22.
