Please join the Boothbay Region Garden Club in celebrating this most cherished of seasons at the Opera House at Boothbay Harbor. Our Festival of Trees theme this year is “Merry and Bright.” There will be several shops offering holiday-themed goods to adorn your home.

Our “Mantle and Table” shop will feature beautiful holiday arrangements of live greens in unique containers designed by our very talented members.

“Nature’s Corner” shop merchandise features all things from nature, such as edible bird houses, pine cone trees, fairy houses, clay pot trees, palm bark reindeer, strawflower ornaments, oyster trees, and sea urchin jellyfish .

The “Trees, Trees, Trees” shop will offer the perfect table top tree for your kitchen counter, dining table, buffet or any special corner of your home.

Our “ETC” shop will offer a wide variety of gift items, such as scarves, hats, jewelry, and decorative items for the home. The choices are too many to mention.

“Santa’s Sweet Shop” is back once more with homemade candies and scrumptious baked goods. Enjoy a delectable treat while browsing through our charming shops, and then be sure to bring home a selection of sweets for family and friends.

Our six-foot Theme Tree, “Merry & Bright,” will dazzle you with ornaments designed by garden club members reminiscent of Christmas past. Special raffle tickets for this charming tree will be on sale until Sunday at 1 p.m. To purchase tickets, look for garden club members wearing their green Boothbay Region Garden Club aprons.
