Crown Heights Has Most Beautiful and Greenest Residential Block in Brooklyn
Some NYC blocks just make you stop in your tracks and take it all in.
This block, Lincoln Place between New York Avenue and Nostrand Avenue in Crown Heights, is one of these moments of oasis. It was just named the greenest residential block in NYC for the annual Greenest Block in Brooklyn contest this week, beating out more than 100 other blocks in the borough—from Williamsburg to Fort Hamilton to DUMBO to Canarsie as well as Flatbush, Prospect Heights, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, New Lots and Park Slope.
The residents of the winning block formed a gardening committee called P.L.A.N.T. and also took home first-place wins in 2022 and 2019. Since their last win, they’ve been mentoring people who want to learn more about gardening in their communities like tree bed care, for instance.

Sadly, Yidden are still not into making the outdoors nice.
Or generally not appreciating nature,.
How many go to our beautiful Botanic Garden? It’s FREE , 22 min walk, 12 minute drive and gorgeous in all seasons.
