She is the Forest Hills Trusts' Curator of Historic Collections. (Trust me, there's a lot o f history here.) Back in the 19th century, flowers and plants had certain emotions and feelings associated with them, and those motifs were carved onto tombstones, taking on coded meaning. Ciregna explans the Victorian code as you stroll the cemetary, noticing the poppiles, lilies, ivy and oak leaves on the carved stones. You'll also take in some pretty awe-inspiring landscape. Admission: $9. 95 Forest Hills Ave., Jamaica Plain, 617-524-0128 www.foresthillsturst.org |
