Amy Brecount White, Author, Forget-Her-Nots
Come celebrate Valentine's Day with author Amy Brecount White as she demonstrates how to improve - and enliven - your communication skills using the Victorian language of flowers. She'll discuss the literary origins of the language and assemble tussie-mussie messages, which some lucky visitors can take home! Amy's first novel, Forget-Her-Nots (HarperCollins, 2010) brings the language of flowers magically to life in the hands of a 14-year-old girl. She frequently presents her novel and demonstrates the language of flowers at botanic gardens, schools, garden clubs and book groups.
