Residents of Crown Heights snagged both the first and second prizes in the 2024 Greenest Block in Brooklyn competition, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden announced Tuesday.
Since their victory in 2022, Lincoln Place has been actively mentoring groups and individuals interested in community gardening, including the care of tree beds.
"Even if we hadn't won first place, we still would've won because of the connections we built with our neighbors and the community around us throughout the process." - Perri Edwards and Althea Joseph, P.L.A.N.T. leadership.
The Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest has been a key part of Brooklyn Botanic Garden's community greening initiatives for nearly 30 years, fostering both streetscape enhancement and neighborhood unity.
