Azaleas Re-Planting
in Severn Grove BY LISA J. GOTTO

Property owner Tina fondly recalls countless summers in her childhood traveling from her Prince George’s County home to a special little spot, a quaint cottage on Saltworks Creek that her great grandparents owned. It started out as just a few small rooms and a dock; a place to put a line in the water and tether a boat. There were many quick jaunts out to the Severn River from here, many sunny days on the sparkling water, and many memories made. Like watercolors that vary in intensity from pale to striking, flashes of spring azalea blooms and summers gone by have served as inspiration for Tina, and her husband Mike, over the years until the time came for them to become the new stewards of that special cottage and the land surrounding it at the water’s edge.
