Adult Night Hike: Floriography: The Language of Flowers
Program Details
April 26, 7:30-9pm
Step back in time to the Victorian era, where flowers spoke volumes in a world that preferred subtlety over scandal! In this intriguing program, we’ll explore the hidden art of floriography—the language of flowers—where bouquets carried secret messages of love, insult, and innuendo. Young Victorians, repressed in their manners, communicated their deepest feelings through carefully chosen blooms, messages too daring for polite society. As we wander the historic gardens and buildings of the Arboretum, we’ll uncover the secret meanings behind the foliage around us and discover how flowers were used to send whispers of emotion in a time before texting and Twitter!
