When frost arrives, our gardens rest, but we gardeners do not. We have itchy fingers, constantly wanting to be in motion. We also love our plants and want to bring them with us to all our holiday festivities. So we couldn't resist the chance to work with Linda Laake Designs and bring back the Winter Wreath Fundraiser, benefiting the expansion of the Montrose Metra Community Garden. Using dried flowers from this local garden and seasonal evergreens, we create one-of-a-kind creations that go back to supporting our community. When you purchase one of our wreaths, your dollars support two local women-owned businesses and our non-profit partner. Talk about some holiday spirit! About our Partners:

We host a public orchard of native fruits, a pollinator friendly planting flyway, and an Oak Savannah. Our produce supports three local food pantries: Common Pantry, Ravenswood Community Services and Lincoln Square Friendship Center.
