"Chicago's 10 best bungalow gardens, chosen by locals," Fox 32 Chicago
Fox 32 Chicago: Chicago has chosen 10 of the best bungalow gardens as part of the 9th annual Bungalow Garden Contest.
Summary: Homeowners from across the city submitted photos of their gardens to the Chicago Bungalow Association to compete in five categories: Best Curb Appeal Gardening, Beat Backyard Oasis, Best Pollinator Garden, Best Vegetable & Herb Garden, and Best Bungalow Window Box.
After receiving 72 entries, the CBA chose the strongest entries for the public to vote on online. Nearly 3,500 people voted for this year's winners in July.
Each winner received $500 cash and an award plaque handcrafted by Craeft LLC.
Two randomly selected entrants received a free rain barrel donated by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.
CBA donated $25 for every eligible entry received to South and West Side community gardens, resulting in $1,800 being split equally among the CCA Academy’s PermaPark Food Forest in North Lawndale, Englewood Veterans Garden and Heritage Community Garden in West Englewood, Rosie’s Peace in the Valley Garden in Austin, Rosemoor Community Association Garden in Roseland, and Urban Growers Collective in Bridgeport.
