The Boca Raton Garden Club released its 18th annual holiday ornament, a commemoration of the Pearl City section of the city.

The Garden Club’s 24-karat-gold-plated 2011 ornament depicts the Tree of Knowledge, a huge banyan on Northeast 12th Street that was a gathering place in the black community started in 1915.

The Boca Raton subdivision, designated a historic district in 2002, is along the Florida East Coast Railway tracks north of downtown.

The ornament, which sells for $16, was presented to City Council Nov. 22 and sales started at the tree-lighting ceremony Nov. 25.
