There are three categories that Street Gardens can be entered into: Container Gardens (which includes traditional containers, window boxes and hanging baskets), In-Ground Gardens and Professionally Designed Gardens. Portland businesses had the opportunity to sign up for one or all categories for their Street Garden Project. 

We’ll be sharing the entries for each category in the coming days on this site, so be sure to check back. 

Many of the gardens have been planted - so get out to Main Street and admire the hard work! Be sure to take note of your favorites gardens. The Portland community will also be able to participate in one part of the judging that takes place in late June with a Portland’s Choice poll where the community will pick their favorite garden in this year's project. We will be partnering with the admins of the Portland CT Community Facebook Group to make this happen. We are also planning to have a drop-off ballot location in town available for individuals who are not on social media.
