Think Fondly Of Your Garden And Scour Your Hard Drive

>Rockville Central reader Kathleen Harris has passed along information about an interesting photography contest being run by Washington Gardener. She noticed a lot of photographs on our site and thought we might be interested. I also know there are a lot of gardeners among our readership, so it all works out well!

Here is the info:
