Midwinter Interlude cocktail party/floral design event

Midwinter Interlude Cocktail Party/Floral Design Event February 1st

The Evening Garden Club of West Roxbury announces plans by its state organization, The Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts, Inc. (GCFM), to host Midwinter Interlude, an afternoon of flowers, food, music and fun. The event will take place on Saturday, February 1, 2014, at the Beechwood Hotel, Worcester, MA, and will feature floral creations by several distinguished designers. 

Arrangements will reflect “The Wide World of Floral Design,” with plants and color schemes conveying a global flavor. Another type of “global flavor” will be hors d’oeuvres prepared by the hotel’s French-trained chef, Laurant Olivier. There will be a cash bar. Live music will be provided by the Henry Platt Quartet.

“This midwinter getaway will transport attendees to an elegant party with an international feel—without making them venture far from home,” said Marisa McCoy, GCFM president. “They will be surrounded not only by beautiful flowers and fine food, but by friendly and engaging company.”

McCoy noted that the event fills a void left by Tower Hill Botanic Garden’s decision not to host their popular Flora in Winter floral design show in 2014.

Midwinter Interlude hours are 3:30 to 6:30 PM. Tickets are $50 each, a portion of which is tax deductible. Proceeds from the event will benefit the mission of the GCFM. For ticket information, contact Bonni Asbjornson at 978-692-8685 or asbjornson@comcast.net.
