Growing Connections – The Language of Flowers

Over the centuries, and especially during Victorian times, people have used flowers to symbolically communicate certain emotions, attributes, and sentiments. For example, sweet basil signaled good wishes; a pink carnation said “I’ll never forget you”; a blue hyacinth stood for constancy. Come learn how to “speak flower” with the Master Gardeners.

Growing Connections is a free gardening program created exclusively for people living with early dementia, and for their care partners, offered by Hennepin County Master Gardeners in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association. This class will be held via Zoom.
