GFNCA Serenity Community Gardens & Urban Farm

GFNCA is proud to provide the Serenity Community Gardens and Urban Farm as an added amenity to the Glenmont Forest Community Park. Established in 2023, the Serenity gardens provide an opportunity for our neighbors to work cooperatively providing food and community cohesion for the neighborhood.
Currently sustained by our all-volunteer garden stewards, we are thankful to the support of several organizations including the MD Agriculture Department, District 18 Legislative Delegation, MoCo Department of Environmental Protection, MoCo Fire and Rescue Service, MoCo Department of General Services, Impact Silver Spring, HarvestShare, One Montgomery Green, Rock Creek Conservancy, Sanctuary Urban Farm, PEPCO, and others.
THANK YOU to all who participated and let us know what other ideas you have for this park!
