The Language of Flowers
February 6 @ 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
If flowers could talk, what would they say? Although using flowers and herbs to convey sentiments has been around for thousands of years, it was in the Victorian Era when the tradition of sending coded messages with flowers became popular. This talk discusses the history, symbolism and sentiments around the flowers we love.
Layce Gebhard retired from the corporate world after 38 years service and was looking for a volunteer opportunity that fit with her lifestyle. She loves gardening and with her husband they own and operate a small choose and cut Christmas tree farm. The Rutgers Master Gardener Program was a perfect fit and Layce became a Master Gardener in 2015. She is active on the Presentation Team, the New Class Team and co-leads the Sensory Garden Team.
This program is presented on ZOOM by the New Jersey State Library.
