Across cultures and times, plants held meanings - they still do - and 'floriography' became a kind of covert communication in art, architecture, literature, mythology and etiquette. Who can resist cracking mysterious codes?
Cheshire-based, Julie is a historian, linguist and garden-lover. Join Julie to explore some intriguing insights into this symbolism past and present.'

"There is a language, 'little known'…
At Barnstaple Library where seeds are sown.
In April symbols smile upon the land,
to be discovered from 3 o'clock. It’s planned!
And in their silent beauty speak,
Of meanings - because on the 28th April that’s what we seek.
For Knowledge Divine and fun-filled hours
Our afternoon’s topic is Language of the Flowers".
