Deborah Perry attended the 25th annual Keep Montgomery County Beautification Award dinner last week and is pleased to report that, for the 2nd year in a row, the HTCA Triangle Garden won the Award of Excellence for a Community Non-Professional garden. Terese and Deborah would like to thank all those who have volunteered their time and money this past year in helping to make the garden a success!
