Description:

This program focuses on the Victorian tradition of floriography or the sending of messages with the arrangement of flowers. Although the practice is much older, in the 19th century gifts of blooms were used to send a coded message to the recipient, allowing the sender to express feelings that could not be spoken aloud in Victorian society. A discussion of the meanings and a guide to interpreting “talking bouquets” as well as a demonstration of how to make a tussie mussy and create decorative arrangements is included.  After the presentation participants will be asked to provide interpretations for a selection of displayed bouquets.  Light apps are included in your registration.   Ages 16+
