Paterson Community Garden Contest

Since 2010, City Green has organized the Greenest Place in Paterson Garden Contest - an amazing initiative that celebrates and rewards the dedication and effort that Patersonians are investing into greening and beautifying the City! ​

 

How it works: Home gardeners in Paterson complete an application (online or paper) and submit optional photos. City Green will contact you to schedule a visit to your garden for judging. All gardeners are invited to the Awards Ceremony in September, where winners will be announced and prizes will be given.
