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?"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 that’s what we seek.For Knowledge Divine and fun-filled hoursOur afternoon’s topic is Language of the Flowers".Cheshire-based, Julie is a historian, linguist and garden-lover. Join Julie to explore some intriguing insights into this symbolism past and present.'Relaxed &amp; friendly presentation with opportunity for Q&A.Refreshments available
