Holiday Wreath Sale (2006)
Category(-ies): 2006 Archives
Each year the Friends of the Garden make up to 300 fresh Christmas wreaths for the holiday season. Including materials from the Botanical Garden and from members private gardens, each wreath is unique and many contain examples of rare and unusual plants. The styles vary considerably and range from the traditional evergreens and berries, to contemporary designs and colour schemes suitable for the most chic modern home. The wreaths come in small, medium and large sizes (10" to around 30") and range in price from $30 upwards. The wreaths are guaranteed to last well into the New Year with adequate watering (laying them out in the rain overnight works very well!)
Attractive table decorations, door swags and miniature Christmas trees are also available.
Christmas wreaths and decorations will be available at the Shop in the Garden from Wednesday, November 29th through to December 8th - or until supplies run out.
To view some examples check out GardenWise magazine Winter 2005 issue.
All proceeds support research, education and plant conservation at UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research.
