Storytelling is important in every culture. Meaning has been attributed to flowers for thousands of years, this practice known as floriography has been practiced in traditional cultures throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. This year, visitors will be able to view poetry and literature from well-known authors displayed alongside featured plants in the park. Every flower has its meaning and each author used the beauty of blooms to insight deeper meaning in their works.
