Red roses are the go-to for expressing love–but have you ever wondered what message you’re sending with other flowers? In this History Happy Hour, we’ll deepdive into the secret language of flowers, particularly the floral symbolism found at Green-Wood, and oftentimes, outside of the Cemetery. The focus on this common Victorian era practice will open your eyes to society’s influence on this bygone tradition.

While we can’t actually bring the bar or the drinks to you, we can offer some history on tap! Bring your own beverage–why not try our recommended cocktail of the evening–and raise a glass to the past as we stay connected through our latest series, History Happy Hour.
