On Saturday, June 28, at 10 a.m. representatives from the City of Melbourne's Environmental Community Outreach (ECO) Division, Parks Division, and Beautification and Energy Efficiency Board will present a GEMS Award to Green Gables historical mansion at their location at 1501 S. Harbor City Boulevard. The public is welcome to attend the presentation.
The GEMS Award recognizes homes and businesses for the beauty of their landscaping and also for their environmental practices. Green Gables met the award’s criteria in many ways, including using native plants and rain barrels, composting, and following proper fertilizing and irrigation techniques.
