This month, we feature an interview with Vince Fillah, a passionate and talented business owner, horticulturalist and local history expert. Vince is an active member of the Sandy Spring Horticultural Society (founded in 1863) and a member of the Montgomery County Forestry Board and the Maryland Champion Tree Program.

“On July 7, we met at beautiful old Edgewood once more. As always, we were greeted on the lawn with a sincere welcome. The table for the vegetables was arranged on the lawn, while the flowers were on the porch. Upon arrival, even the most disinterested (if there be such a person) could not but imbibe the spirit of horticulture.”

“The planting of that can be compared to the purchasing of a good investment that in the course of time will yield a large income while also being useful for shade and ornament as well.”
