Our block is often referred to as the “Greenest Block”. This title is not only because of the lush flora found on our block but also due to our 1^st place wins of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest in 2004, 2006, 2011 and 2016. In 2014, we also won 1^st place for the Best Children’s Garden and in 2018 we garnered an inaugural Garden Mentor Award. Most recently, in August of 2019, we won the National Grid’s Leadership in Sustainable Practices Award. Lastly, Brooklyn Botanic Garden commemorated its 25th Anniversary of the Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest on our block with a Special Insider's Tour in September 2019. We hope to remain green for many years to come!
