That's right. At 10 am I will be reporting from the Greenest Block in Brooklyn.

It happens every summer. At least it's been happening for the last 15 years. And today's the day. Last year it a block in Park Slope (8th Street between 8th and PPW) got the award. This year?

I know, you don't. Because I'm sworn to secrecy until 10am.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s GreenBridge community environmental horticulture program will announce the winners of the 15th annual Greenest Block in Brooklyn Contest.

This year more than 250 blocks—the most ever—participated in the 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 Community Garden Streetscape, Best Window Box, Greenest Storefront, and Best Street Tree Beds winners will receive cash prizes or gardening tools, and all participants will be awarded a recognition certificate.
