Specialty Tour: Victorian Language of Flowers

March 7 at 12:00 PM – Victorian Language of Flowers – Hosted by Kim

In the Victorian era, flowers spoke when words could not. Join us at the historic Belle Boyd Cottage for a fascinating look at the hidden meanings behind popular blooms and floral motifs. As we explore the cottage, we’ll uncover the symbolic messages woven into decorative objects and displays—and discover how 19th-century Americans used flowers to express sentiments that could not be spoken aloud.
