Montgomery Parks is marking the 15th anniversary of its Community Garden program by creating a digital archive of the experience. Through the years, hundreds of gardeners have left their mark on the land and Montgomery Parks wants to preserve their stories. Gardeners are asked to submit their fondest memories of the program online to Montgomery Parks digital gardening archive.  The stories in the archive will be used to develop future gardening programs and may one day be featured in an online display dedicated to community gardening.
