Greenest Place in Passaic County Garden Contest
For 10 years City Green has recognized the beautiful work of Paterson gardeners in the Annual Greenest Place in Paterson Garden Contest. This year, because we have to move the contest online, we are excited to extend our Garden Contest to gardeners throughout Passaic County!
In these unprecedented times, let's share and celebrate our gardens as places for respite, joy and resilience. Our new online contest is an opportunity to highlight the amazing gardens that fill all of our communities, and acknowledge our many neighbors that take pride in their flower and vegetable gardens.
All gardens will be entered for a chance to win prizes! Entries due July 15th. Only gardens in Passaic County are eligible.

From June through November, City Green's Farm Markets and Veggie Mobiles offer our neighbors in Clifton, Paterson, Passaic, and surrounding communities the opportunity to take part in our movement to help you #EatBetterTonight! Find the freshest, organically-grown, and affordable produce around at one of our many locations.
