High-heeled horticulture: Gardening with flair pays off for Sterling Street
Block wins 19th annual Greenest Block in Brooklyn award
Take a tip from the winningest gardeners in Brooklyn: High-heeled shoes make perfect planters.
Alicia Boyd’s 4-inch red patent-leather pumps with posies peeking out of them, perched on her stoop, helped her and her Sterling Street neighbors score the 19th annual Greenest Block in Brooklyn award.
“The whimsicality of the shoes was so charming,” Robin Simmen, director of GreenBridge, told the Brooklyn Eagle Wednesday. “It was evidence of the kind of creativity we look for on a winning block.”
