"These gardeners bring joy and beauty to our porches, balconies, and storefronts across every neighborhood," said Mayor Michelle Wu. "I want to congratulate all of our winners, and offer a special congratulations to everyone being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. It is a joy to celebrate Boston's greenest thumbs!"
First place winners received the coveted "Golden Trowel" award from Mayor Wu while second and third place winners were awarded certificates. Gardeners who have won three or more times in the last ten years were automatically entered into the Hall of Fame. These distinguished Hall-of-Famers are no longer eligible to enter as contestants but are invited to return as judges.
First place winners were also entered into a drawing for a JetBlue Grand Prize consisting of roundtrip flights for two to any nonstop destination from Boston. Terms, conditions, and blackout dates apply. Mahoney's Garden Centers provided gardener's gift bags to the top three winners in each category, as well as gift certificates for the 2024 Hall of Fame inductees. Winners also received prizes from Spartan Coffee and refreshments were provided with support from Polar Beverages.
