In celebration of Pride Month, Henrico Recreation and Parks will present the program “Victorian Flower Language and the LGBTQ+ Community” on Saturday, June 15 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Meadow Farm’s Parsons Community Center. Courting or dating in the Victorian Era was very different from dating now. Flowers of different types and colors were frequently used to convey the nature of romantic intentions by a suitor or their intended. The same gender loving men and women of the era adapted their own usages of flowers to subtly convey their own romantic interests. Learn about the development and meaning behind these floral exchanges. Admission is free and no registration is required. All ages.
