An artistic flair combined with an eternal love for nature—that’s the hallmark of A Garden of Earthly Delights, floral design studio.
Inspired by Hieronymous Bosch's famous triptych, "Garden of Earthly Delights," proprietor Carole Langrall strives to bring the imaginative touches, passion and vibrant colors of this famed work to every one of her creations.
The philosophy of "flowers as art" is pervasive at A Garden of Earthly Delights where designers with backgrounds in botany, graphic art and set design create diverse and unusual arrangements, each custom made to fit all tastes and styles.
Carole began her journey to the "Garden" in 1990 when she served as a bilingual sales representative for South American growers and exporters of flowers. She gained invaluable knowledge of flower care which she applies to this day. Langrall went on to apprentice at some of Washington, D.C.'s most prestigious floral studios where she received hands-on training from recognized national and international designers of flowers and interiors.
In 1996, she pursued her dream and opened A Garden of Earthly Delights studio in Baltimore, MD. Since then, her work has garnered rave reviews and has been featured in print and broadcast media (note below), ranging from trade publications like Floral Management to lifestyle publications like Baltimore Magazine, which named her "Baltimore's Best Floral Designer" in 2006. She has a diverse client base ranging from high-end hotels to local notables and has recently begun work creating designs for the television and film industry, including The Discovery Channel.
Carole is a sought-after speaker and lecturer on green floral practices, addressing crowds a local garden clubs, industry seminars and at such venues as The Walters Art Museum's "Art Blooms" festival.
