Apply to Be Named the Greenest Block in Brooklyn

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Greenest Block in Brooklyn competition is now accepting applications. Will Glenwood Road between the train tracks and E 17th repeat, or do better than, its honorable mention from last year? Or will another contender from the neighborhood swoop in to take the title? We’ve certainly got enough green blocks, and I hope to see some of them in the running.

The competition is open to neighborhood associations, community gardens, schools, businesses, and more. Take a look at the entry, which is open through June 1, for more information.
