The suspense is killing me: On Wednesday at 10 am the winner of the 14th annual Greenest Block in Brooklyn award will be announced. The ceremony will take place on the winning block. So obviously they cannot reveal where the ceremony is taking place until…

Mum’s the word. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Greenbridge program hasn’t spilled the beans yet. So we’ll all have to wait until Wednesday to find out which block in Brooklyn has the prettiest stoop gardens, the nicest window boxes, the loveliest trees.

Will it be in Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, Ft. Greene, Cobble Hill, Ditmas Park…???

It must be soooo hard to pick. Initially there were over 200 blocks entered in the competition. The most ever. Fourteen years and this contest has become a big deal in Brooklyn.

Now the winner is…

First place winner gets a prize of $300 bucks. Runner’s up get $150-200. Loads of politicians should be on site for the festivities on Wednesday, as well as the judges (horticulturalists, journalists, gardeners, etc.) and the interested public.

See you there wherever THERE is.
