2010 Minneapolis City Award

Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District Award

On January 12, the Downtown Improvement District (DID) presented awards for outstanding greening sites in downtown Minneapolis. The presentation of LGA's award was made by David Wilson of Accenture, who is the chair of DID's Greening Committee. The committee instituted an annual Greening Recognition and Awards program. Its jury walked all over downtown and selected the best examples of greening, ranging in scale from small pots at building entrances to large park areas.

The award was made to LGA for "2010 Greening Award for Community Involvement for Loring Greenway Beautification."

Metro Blooms has declared LGA the winner of 2010 Best Public Garden Award. Metro Blooms' mission is to promote and celebrate gardening, to beautify our communities and help heal and protect our environment. Its original program, Blooming Boulevards, grew out of the Committee on Urban Environment (CUE), established by the Minneapolis City Council in 1968.

Each year it selects outstanding gardening efforts in several categories. The award will be presented on May 14th at Kenny community school, 5720 Emerson Avenue South in Minneapolis.
