Expert to speak on art of floriography
Sue Adams, co-owner of Mark Adams Greenhouses, will discuss “the language of flowers” at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29, at the Howland Public Library in Beacon. After a brief introduction on the meanings of flowers, Adams will conduct flower readings. The library is located at 313 Main St.
Floriography was popular during the Victorian era as a means of communication in which flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages. Adams is an award-winning container designer who creates the hanging basket and container designs sold at Adams Fairacre Farms. She is also president of the Northeast Greenhouse Conference and a board member of New York State Flower Industries.
