2007 City Gardens Contest Winners
The PHS City Gardens Contest is a friendly competition that celebrates the efforts of Philadelphia residents. Gardeners compete for prizes in a variety of categories, from small, roof-top gardens to large community gardens that span whole city blocks. Launched in 1975, the contest now receives about 500 entries, and teams of volunteer judges visit each contestant during July and August. Following are the winners of the 2007 Contest. Congratulations to all who entered!
