Photographs by Michael Farnham
Saturdays and Sundays July 10-25
11am-6pm
Starting soon, Links Bridge Vineyards will host an exhibit of photographs by Michael Farnham, a professional photographer who lives in northern Virginia. In the course of naval, civil engineering, and state department careers Michael has made pictures all over the world. In this exhibit, however, he will present some local Virginia, Maryland, and Frederick County landscapes. We are excited to have the opportunity to showcase his work.
Michael began his photographic career making vacation pictures with a childhood Brownie Hawkeye box camera. From that time onward (generally with more sophisticated equipment) he has focused his lenses on a wide variety of subjects and locales, from mid-60s Manhattan to the South Pacific and the coasts of Africa. Through his work travels and filming he has developed a strong sense of the field of view, color, palette definition, and framing the shot. Today Michael continues photographing, both as a recreation and for his State Department work.
Michael’s work has recently been exhibited at the Torpedo Factory Art League Gallery and at Gallery 75. He has been a contributing photographer for National Geographic’s Your Shot program, with a couple of recent Editor’s Favorites selections. And he continues photographing, both as a recreation and in his documentary work for the Department of State.
Michael will be at Links Bridge on Saturday July 10 from 1-3 pm to talk about his work. We hope you’ll come by to say hello!
Cheers!
Joan & Bob

Novo is a well-known contemporary artist both in South America and in the United States. His work has been featured in galleries and museums throughout the USA and abroad. His paintings are colorful, strong, and emotional. Links Bridge is very pleased to have the opportunity to display his work!
The exhibit at Links Bridge extends through Sunday July 4. It includes a selection of works from Novo’s “Maps and Stamps Series.” In this series, the painting surfaces are maps of the USA and other parts of the world, on which Novo has painted instinctive/subconscious images that relate to his travels, identity, and sense of place.

Brent Heath: Talk on “Bulbs as Companion Plants”
June 5-6
We are excited to announce that Brent Heath, of Brent and Becky’s Bulbs, will be at Links Bridge Vineyards over the June 5-6 weekend to give a talk on the subject of “Bulbs as Companion Plants.”
The Heath family has been growing beautiful bulbs in Gloucester, Virginia since 1900. Their journey began when Brent’s grandfather, lover of daffodils, moved to the area to start his farm. Today Brent and Becky Heath continue the tradition he began. Together they are proud bulb suppliers, garden writers, photographers, lecturers, consultants, and educators. Over 8 acres of their 28-acre farm are devoted to educational gardens where visitors are invited to learn more about sustainable gardening.
With exquisite images illustrating the talk, Brent will introduce you to the best of the best…the right bulbs for the right spots. He’ll show you how to combine bulbs, perennials, annuals, ground covers and flowering shrubs that will create just the feeling you want to generate for three seasons in your garden. After the talk he will lead a walk around the garden at Links Bridge.
You’ll have lots of opportunities during the talk and the garden walk to ask questions.
After seeing and experiencing this talk, you’ll leave with information and inspiration to produce a garden that you (and your neighbors and friends) will enjoy all year.
Brent will present his talk at these times:
- Saturday June 5, 1 pm
- Saturday June 5, 3 pm
- Sunday June 6, 1 pm
The cost is $35 per participant for the talk and a glass of wine of your choice. Seating is limited so sign up quickly! Call 301-466-2413 to register.

Roger Crist, Woodworking Artisan
Hello all!
Here’s an encore we’ve been looking forward to: Roger Crist, designer and builder of artful furniture from old wine barrels and other interesting materials, will soon be here for a return engagement.
Visit us from Saturday May 29 through Sunday June 6 to see a new group of his works on display. It’s always both amazing and fun to see his latest creations–this year’s selection even features a wine cabinet made from a circa 1900 upright piano!
By the way, Roger’s talents are not limited to woodworking. Some of you will also know him as the Director of the Frederick Catoctones Barbershop Chorus. This well-known a cappella group has been relatively quiet for the past year due to COVID, but we’re looking forward to hearing from it again in the near future.
Best wishes!
Bob & Joan
