Brooklyn Botanical Garden - Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest

Our entry is in!

I just received a package from the BBG with judging criteria, horticulture tips, and a sign for the block!  Now I just have to figure out where to display it...

If anyone wants a copy of these tips, just let me know with a blog comment and I'll get them to you.  You can also visit http://miliontreesnyc.org for tips on how to care for street trees.  There are some simple things you can do to maintain the tree in front of your house.

Potential awards -
  • Greenest Block in Brooklyn - $300
  • Best Street Tree Beds - $200
  • Best Window Boxes (individual)
Judging starts June 8th through process of elimination. A progress report will be posted on bbg.org

Winners announce in August at a press conference on the winning block.

Cross you fingers for the Cumberland Block Association!

  1. I put the sign up in front of 311 but I may move it to a more visible place. Suggestions welcome. Maybe on a Parking Pole?
