Description

Step into the fragrant world of Ruth & Abby as they uncover the many uses and meanings of flowers—from cooking to communication and everything in between! Flowers have long been a symbol of love, remembrance, and healing, but they’ve also been used in practical and delicious ways throughout history.

Get crafty! Create a beautiful dried flower bookmark to preserve a piece of nature’s elegance. 🌱 Grow something new! Plant a seed and learn about the history and significance of floral traditions. 🍵 Sip and savor! Tie some hibiscus tea and explore how flowers have been infused into cuisine and remedies for centuries.
