Title: Brookside Gardens 2003, Montgomery County, Maryland





On 4 May 2003, I attended Mr. Leroy Nordahl’s memorial service at Brookside Gardens, Maryland.   This page is dedicated to his memory.   After the service, I had a chance to admire Brookside Gardens’ biota.   Some of the things I saw are below.
