Step into a world of Victorian elegance and timeless beauty at Harmony Hall on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 1 pm, when interior designer Linda Karen will guide you through the captivating art of Floriography—the Secret Language of Flowers. Ms. Karen returns for the second time to share her extensive knowledge of this fascinating Victorian tradition with new additions to this year’s program.


The art of creating a Tussie Mussie—a small, intricate bouquet—was once a way to convey these hidden meanings with elegance and grace. Linda will transport you back to an era when each blossom had a secret meaning waiting to be uncovered by offering a rare glimpse into how flowers once conveyed hidden messages of love, longing, and sentiment. You'll learn the symbolic meanings behind some of the most popular flowers in Victorian bouquets.


Linda will demonstrate how to arrange a classic Tussie Mussie. Follow along and create a take-home bouquet to keep a piece of this enchanting tradition for yourself. No prior floral knowledge is needed—just a love for beauty and a desire to learn! All materials are provided.


The afternoon doesn’t end with floral arrangements. Guests will be entered in a raffle for three stunning showpiece bouquets. To top off the event, we’ll celebrate with a sparkling cider toast and decadent chocolates, making for a delightful day. Reserve Your Spot Today.


Whether you’re a floral enthusiast, a history lover, or simply looking for a charming and memorable outing, this event promises to be a beautiful celebration of the past and the present. We look forward to seeing you there!


Advanced sale tickets (only) for this unforgettable experience are available until February 7th, but hurry to ensure you don’t miss out on this special event. Purchase your ticket HERE.
