Brooklyn Eagle to offer cash prizes in Garden Club Contest
As the Brooklyn Heights Garden Club celebrates its 75th anniversary, its motto reflects its continuous purpose since 1940: “Everyone’s a winner when Brooklyn blooms.”
Garden Club Vice President Leslie Hannafey is reviving an event the club held 10 years ago along with co-chair Judy Scofield Miller. The Window Box Contest is open to anyone in Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill, whether they have a lavish garden or simply have their favorite plants in containers, and entry is free.
Applicants can choose to have window boxes, container gardens, tree beds, front gardens or all of the above submitted for judging. The Brooklyn Eagle and Brooklyn Heights Press will award the two winners of the window box competition with $100 gift cards to the flower shop of their choice.
