The Language of Flowers

CANCELED

A language as old as time! In the 19th century, Victorians used floriography to send messages of love, friendship, and even rejection, through carefully chosen blooms. Join Sheena Hanscel, owner of Phoenix Rising Wellness Coaching and The Pollen Patch, to explore the folklore and symbolism behind flowers and traditional “love potions.” Learn how a plant’s physical characteristics can reveal its herbal properties, then create your own custom herbal tea blend to take home.
