Welcome to the Greenfield Garden Club - 
Serving all of Franklin County, Massachusetts, and beyond.
Please join us at one of our many meetings - and bring a friend!

Make a Wreath or a Kissing Ball

Date: Thursday, November 15th
Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Location: Chapley Gardens, 397 Greenfield Rd, Deerfield, MA
Fees: $10 per wreath and $15 per kissing ball.
RSVP -  to the club so we can give Stacey an idea of the amount of greens and kissing ball forms to have on hand. greenfieldgardenclub@yahoo.com
Bring: Please bring a plate of something sweet or savory to share. Beverages will be provided.
Also Bring: clippers, gloves, and a folding chair. If you have florist's wire, please bring a spool. Depending on the weather, the greenhouse may be chilly, so dress in layers. If you'd like to take advantage of Stacey's excellent prices on ribbon for bows, or other decorations, please bring extra cash as well as the $10 or $15 for the wreath itself (or kissing ball).

Club members, friends, and neighbors, both young and old, are invited to our annual wreath-making event this November. The club will provide the wreath rings and Stacey will provide the kissing ball forms and the greenery. She will also have ribbons, bows, and other decorative items for sale at the event. She is a master bow-maker!

We have a lot of fun at this event, so please put it on your calendar now and plan to join us. Members will be on hand to help those new to this easy craft. Please RSVP so we have a semi-accurate count and can have enough supplies on hand for everyone!

Dues for 2018: Forget to renew your membership? Dues remain at $18 per single person, and $24 for a household. Please send membership requests to Jean Wall, 40 High St, Greenfield, MA
