"The effort you have given through tending your landscape represents a significant commitment to your neighborhood and the whole city," the city wrote in a letter to The Selfhelp Home. "Gardens and other green spaces help improve air quality, utilize rainwater and make Chicago a beautiful place to live."
Residents ranging in age from 85 to 99 design, plant and care for the garden. It spans the rooftop of the nine story building in more than 40 containers. Marion Mayer, member of the Garden Club, observes: "We are probably the oldest group of gardeners to achieve a first prize garden and perhaps the first elderly care facility to do so in the 55 year history of the awards."

The award will be presented on December 3rd at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago.
The Selfhelp Home is an active and engaging not-for-profit senior living community designed to accommodate the needs of elderly Jewish residents throughout the Chicago area. Residents are able to:
