Uncover the secret Victorian language of flowers with expert guide Allison Meier at Green-Wood. On this illuminating tour, you’ll discover how the Victorians used floriography—the language of flowers—to convey hidden messages through elaborate grave monuments. As you walk the historic grounds, encountering roses, lilies, pansies, and other blooms, Allison will reveal the rich symbolism behind each flower, offering a unique window into nineteenth-century mourning customs and the art of remembrance.
