One city-sized garden is getting special recognition and paying off for a Jefferson Park couple.
Jessica Grzegorski and Bradon Webb won first place in the 7th Annual Chicago Bungalow Association Garden Contest.One of 96 entries, the garden is filled with native plants that Grzegorski said, practically take care of themselves.Yet they come back each year attracting pollinators, and neighbors who often ask about the garden, which is exactly how Webb and Grzegorski started their front yard oasis.
The small garden creates big impact with a variety of plants, colors and textures. The first-place prize included a special hand-crafted plaque and $500 that they promptly spent on more plants. New to gardening, this librarian and designer encourage anyone to give it a try. They said their best advice is to start small and spend some time at a local nursery.
