New Event: Sniff ‘n Learn: Victorian Fragrances

If you’ve been following us for a while you’ll know that we’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with The Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum the past two years on a tour that delved into floriography or the language of flowers. This year we are excited to bring you a new event Sniff ‘n Learn: Victorian Fragrances on Saturday, June 21, 2025; free with Garden admission; 11:30am-4:30pm.

We'll be speaking on the use of scents for health, medical treatment, funeral, mourning practices and beauty in the 19th century. Not only will you learn the history and the myriad of uses for popular Victorian botanical scents but you will have a chance to sample them as well. This event is a collaboration with the special exhibition: Smelling the Bouquet: Plants and Scents in the Garden opening May 2, 2025! 

The Stephen and Peter Sachs Museum is one of the historic structures on the grounds of the Garden, and features the special exhibition: Smelling the Bouquet: Plants and Scents in the Garden opening May 2, 2025!.
