Event Details: Flowers, chocolates and jewelry -- we have it all here for your Valentines Weekend date. See, smell and photograph a wide array of flowering plants, cut flowers and exotic blossoms from Saturday through Tuesday as our Smith Building Lecture Room is transformed by the fragrant, colorful Language of Flowers exhibit -- with placards near each plant telling you about the ancient meaning of that particular flower -- or its meaning when given in a bouquet with other blossoms. Baker and candy-maker Jerry Temanson (an Arboretum member whose chocolate covered cherries were a hit here on Thanksgiving weekend), will sell a variety of custom chocolates and will also give away samples both days of the weekend. San Tan Valley artist Barbara Pohan will exhibit and sell her unique handmade jewelry, too. Much of her work is in turquoise and in honor of Arizona's this weekend she will also have peridot and other native Arizona gemstones. Barb's also a BTA annual member - and generously donates a portion of her sales to support the Arboretum.
