Let It Grow
By Tammy Thornton
When you see a beautiful garden, you naturally want to capture the moment. As Monet knew, painting and gardening form a perfect marriage. Fortunately, we can soon enjoy the work of talented artists and gardeners as they come together for “The Art of Gardening” show on September 19, at Lang’s Garden in Linwood.
Garden-themed artwork will be on display as local artists paint among the flowers while visitors view their artwork and shop for paintings, artwork, and flowers. Refreshments will be available from Barefoot Bakery of Ocean City. The event was organized by Erin Daniels, artist and owner of Margaret James Design, along with Stephanie Santini-Duff, owner of Lang’s Garden in Linwood. Stephanie and her husband Joe Duff became the new owners of Lang’s Garden in 2019. Santini-Duff hopes this will be the first of many events like this to be held at the garden center.
Lang’s Garden Market is located at 2020 West Avenue, Linwood. The show will be held Sunday, September 19, from 12 p.m. – 3 p.m. (Rain date October 3) For further information, contact Stephanie Santini-Duff from Lang’s @ 609-927-6283 or Erin Daniels of Margaret James Design: erindanielsart@gmail.com.
