White Glove Gardener

Victorian woman must be a savvy flower expert. To select the perfect brocade dresses, fine wallpaper or the gilding on her parlor furniture, it was essential that she would recognize plants and flowers. She knew which producers’ flowers emitted a pleasant odor and where fresh bouquets could be cut from the garden. The lady also knew how to smell herbs or toss them into hot coals to freshen a room or how to make a boutonniere for her jacket. These skills were all before significant immersion bathing and when even indoor plumbing was considered luxurious. However, a bouquet of roses, a broken jasmine blossom, and a lilac spray could give the home a fresh and beautiful aroma.
