Gilroy Gardens is celebrating its 20th season in 2020. As with any milestone, memories are sure to come up—and the park is hoping to capitalize on that.

Gilroy Gardens is looking for photo and video memories from visitors to the horticulture park over the last two decades.

“We are planning to celebrate our 20th season in 2020 with the biggest and best birthday party ever,” said Executive Director Barb Granter. “As part of that celebration, it was very important to us to include our guests’ special memories of this very special place. Whether you remember visiting Gilroy Gardens as a kid, a parent, or a grandparent, we’d love to hear from you.”

The materials will be used to create new “Memory Spots” throughout the park for the 2020 season and may also be featured in other park promotions. As an extra incentive, everyone who contributes memories will be entered in a drawing to win a family pack of four 2020 Premium Card memberships.

All submissions must be in digital form, in as high resolution as possible. Older print photos should be scanned, and videos should be no longer than three minutes. Each household can submit up to three photos or videos and up to three favorite stories from the last 20 years at Gilroy Gardens.

The deadline to submit content is Dec. 31. For information, visit gilroygardensmemories.org.
