Bed-Stuy beauty: neighborhood block named Brooklyn’s greenest
Bainbridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant was named the 2015 Greenest Block in Brooklyn on Tuesday, August 4 for its environmentally-friendly greenery displays, beating out almost 200 other borough blocks.
“This block really climbed,” said Scot Medbury, the president of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden (BBG). “Maybe a quarter of it was green at first.”
GreenBridge, the community environmental horticulture program of BBG, made the announcement at a press conference at the block, Bainbridge Street between Stuyvesant Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard.
