Sally Voris, Gardener & writer; owner and manager

Twenty years later, she is pursuing her dream, after inheriting a quarter interest in a farm that her father bought in 1966. Writer, storyteller, community organizer and gardener, Sally helped organize Farm Heritage Days in Howard County, developed a nationally-recognized oral history project and initiated seasonal events and celebrations in the Patapsco Valley, south of Baltimore, Maryland.
