Carole Áine Langrall, owner of A Garden of Earthly Delights, is a dedicated forager who finds beauty everywhere she goes. From wild viburnum berries and maidenhair fern on the East Coast to dried cholla cactus and yucca pods in the Southwest, Carole Áine’s designs are a harmonious blend of nature’s bounty and locally grown flowers.

With over 20 years of experience, her floral design studio has garnered significant attention from clients and media alike. Carole Áine opened her first studio in Baltimore, MD, after representing several South American flower farms and wholesalers in Washington, D.C., and expanded her location when she moved to Santa Fe, NM, in 2010. Both studios offer floral event services, design instruction, and destination events in the Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Carole Áine is also a published writer on the environment, gardening, the floriculture industry, and community beautification projects. Her “Santa Fe in Bloom” column has appeared in the monthly Home Magazine of the Santa Fe New Mexican since 2012.

A former Master Gardener in both Maryland and New Mexico, Carole Áine was the head coordinator for the Charm City Urban Farm and Garden Tour in Baltimore, Maryland in 2018 and 2019. Her blog, Neglected Beauty, is a tribute to the stories of people, places, and plants that redefine our definition of beauty.
