JUNE 18 — Victorian Language of Flowers: Hand-Tied Posies · $55 · Thu 6:30–8:30pmFlowers have never been just decoration. They have been messages.
In the Victorian era, flowers carried meanings that couldn't be spoken aloud. A red rose meant love. Rosemary meant remembrance. A sprig of lavender tucked into a bouquet carried a message only the recipient could read. But this secret language wasn't only used for romance — it was used for resistance.
Abolitionists passed meaning through posies pressed into the hands of strangers. Suffragists wore specific blooms to signal solidarity and courage. Women who could not speak freely in public rooms found ways to say exactly what they meant through the flowers they carried and gave. A pansy for free thought. White chrysanthemums for truth. Yellow jasmine for grace under pressure.
In this Heirloom Traditions workshop you'll learn the Victorian language of flowers in its full depth — romantic, political, and quietly radical — and create a hand-tied posy using that language. Every stem chosen with purpose. Every bloom a word. A small, intentional bouquet that says exactly what you mean.
Some things haven't changed.
