This morning, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Brooklyn GreenBridge announces the winners of the 14th annual Greenest Block in Brooklyn Contest. This year nearly 230 blocks participated in this annual event.

More than 120,000 Brooklyn residents and business participated in this borough-wide greening effort.
Contest winners were selected through a rigorous process by an expert panel of judges that included professional horticulturists from Brooklyn Botanic Garden, metro area horticulture professionals, gardening journalists, and other New York City greening organizations.

First Prize is a $300 check for each top residential and commercial block winner. All other finalists will receive cash prizes ranging from $100–$200. Best Window Box, Storefront, and Street Tree Beds winners will receive cash prizes or gardening tools, and all participants will be awarded a recognition certificate.

I will keep you posted…
