As you stroll down Cortelyou Road, between Argyle and Westminster, take a minute to appreciate the greenery around you – the lush block, and the Cortelyou Road Merchants Association, just [landed second place in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden 2014 Greenest Block in Brooklyn’s commercial category](http://www.bbg.org/greenbridge/greenestblock?ref=bklyner.com).

The Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest promotes streetscape, gardening, tree stewardship, and community development throughout Brooklyn. The project is supported by

[GreenBridge](http://www.bbg.org/greenbridge?ref=bklyner.com), the community environmental horticulture program of [Brooklyn Botanic Garden](http://www.bbg.org/?ref=bklyner.com), as well as Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.  

Also, congratulations to neighbor and gardener extraordinaire [Tracy Hohman](/?s=Tracey+Hohman), who designed and planted almost all of the planters on that block.

You can see a full list of the winners – as well as photos of all the great greenery in our borough – [here](http://www.bbg.org/greenbridge/greenestblock?ref=bklyner.com).
