The Secret Language of Flowers Revealed at Annual Membership Meeting

Members of the Friends of Reinstein Woods enjoyed appetizers and desserts Tuesday night before the Annual Membership Meeting. Board members highlighted the years’ accomplishments of the Friends of Reinstein Woods. We welcomed new board members: Patrick Ryan, Amanda Lippes, and Andy Moon. We also recognized valued members that are leaving the board: Dan Carlson, Lori Stillwell, Stephanie Race, and Jeremy Oczek. Following the business meeting, Buffalo Botanical Gardens’ educator, Kristy Schmitt, presented “Floriography: The Secret Language of Flowers”. This presentation highlighted the origins of flower code, fads and the current use of flower language in the floral industry and everyday life. It was a fun evening and we hope to see you at future member events.
