“Across the city, Chicago bungalow owners demonstrate their love for nature by beautifying their blocks with inspiring home gardens. For the fourth year in a row, the Bungalow Garden Contest aims to celebrate the hard work of our members, and draw attention to how gardens not only enhance a home’s architecture, but can also promote a healthier ecosystem and uplift a community.
“The public votes for winners online! This year, for every eligible* garden contest entry we receive, $25 will be donated to South and West Side Chicago community gardens. (Do you know a community garden that could benefit from donations? Send CBA an email!)
