Paterson Garden Contest
Paterson’s Home Gardeners to be Recognized and Celebrated with City Green’s Paterson Garden Contest!
Home gardeners in Paterson are invited to join the Paterson Garden Contest, a city-wide celebration of urban gardening. The winner of the Paterson Garden Contest’s “Best Overall Garden” will be awarded $250 in prizes and gift cards. Top place contenders in each category will be awarded $100 in prizes and gift cards. Gardeners can apply online on the City Green website.
Now in it’s 15th year, The Greenest Place in Paterson Garden Contest recognizes the vision and hard work of Paterson’s gardening community. Gardens and greening projects of all shapes, sizes, and styles are encouraged to apply. Contestants can enter their garden into one of eleven categories such as “Best Shade Garden”, “Best Vegetable Garden”, “Best Business/Storefront Garden”, “Best Flower Garden” and more!
Over the coming weeks, City Green will evaluate each garden on a set of criteria including general appeal, use of color, creative use of space, plant material and quality, and maintenance. The Garden Contest culminates with an award ceremony in September. There an array of prizes will be awarded for the different categories. Prizes include garden supplies, tools, plants, and gift cards.
Applications are currently open and the deadline to apply is July 10th and the Garden Contest Award Ceremony is at our Farm Eco-Center in Clifton on September 11th at 6pm with a raindate of September 12th at 6pm. Applications can be filled out online using the QR code, or by mail.
The not-for-profit organization, City Green has helped establish community and school gardens throughout the City of Paterson, operates the Learning Garden in Eastside Park as well as the Veggie Mobile in Lou Costello Park.
We would love to celebrate your gardening efforts and we hope you apply. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to my email [email protected] or at 973-869-4086.
