The public votes for winners online!

 Congratulations to our 2023 winners!

Bungalow owners across Chicago demonstrate their love for nature by beautifying their blocks with inspiring home gardens. In 2023, for the seventh year in a row, the Bungalow Garden Contest will aim 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.

​

For every eligible garden contest entry received, a $25 donation is made to South and West Side community gardens. Thanks to your entries last year, a total of $3,000 was donated to six community gardens!​

​
