About the Garden

A Garden of Earthly DelightsAt "A Garden of Earthly Delights," we pride ourselves in using locally grown flowers from area wholesalers and farmers. If we need to import, we only buy certified organic florals of the highest grade and quality that adhere to international, social, and environmental standards from planting to postharvest.

From May – November, the majority of our greens and foliages (including some seasonal blossoms) come directly from our own garden.

We are green designers—we recycle daily and have very little flower waste. Our commitment to excellence in floral design reflects our love for all things growing and our desire to make your event truly, an earthly delight!

The following is a partial list of rare and endangered native flowers and plants of Maryland that are most in need of our conservation efforts. It includes species occurring in our state that are listed or are candidates for the Federal list of Endangered Species, and additional species that are considered rare by the Maryland Wildlife and Heritage Service. As a nature lover, I urge you to support the efforts made by this department.

If you happen to run across any of these flowers in your travels, please respect them and leave them in their natural habitat, removing them or relocating them can have a severe impact on the ecosystem of the plant and habitat itself.

The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing that all of us share. It is not only a mirror of ourselves, but a focusing lens on what we can become..."
