Greenest Block in Brooklyn Awards

The Brooklyn Botanical Garden's Greenbridge program announced the winners for the Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest and guess who got an award?!

If you guessed Myrtle Avenue, you're right. This year Myrtle Avenue between Waverly & Clinton tied for 2nd Place in the BEST STREET TREE BED Category! Pictured above is the exemplary tree bed outside of Karen's Body Beautiful (on the awarded block). Congratulations Myrtle and thanks to all of the merchants and residents who provide care for our tree beds! You can check-out the other winners here.

And, speaking of awards, we would like to give our own 'MABP Signage Award' to Root, Stock and Quade. They made this cute sign for the tree outside of their store to discourage animal waste (in case you didn't know, not only is letting your pet use the restroom in the tree beds unhygienic, it kills trees!). Congrats to Root, Stock and Quade!

For the rest of you, there are plenty of our unofficial MARP awards to go around.
