The purpose of this monetary award is to encourage gardeners, both experienced and new, to beautify our University Heights neighborhood and participate in the Samuel P. Capen Garden Walk. The award was established in 2016 to honor the spirit of dedicated gardener Christine H. Brooks (May 20, 1938-January 14, 2015), whose lovely garden on Larchmont Road enhanced our neighborhood for many years. We would like to help our neighbors to enhance an already existing garden or to start a new bed in an area visible from the street. You may ask for funding for bags of mulch, new perennials, a shrub or something more ambitious. Christine Brooks Garden Grant with map APPLICATION – 2017
