And the winner of the Greenest Commercial Block contest for 2011 goes to the Mid-Atlantic Block Association for the stretch of Atlantic Avenue between Bond Street and Nevins Street in our very own Boerum Hill! The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens announced the winners a couple of days ago. The press release stated that "the contest encourages members of block associations and merchants’ associations...to cultivate window boxes, container plantings, front gardens, storefront greenery, street tree beds and more". And that's just what the business owners on this street did and not only has it given the neighborhood this wonderful title and bragging rights but it's made it a charming place to walk around and shop. If you haven't been over there yet you should check it out!
