The beating heart of a community is its Main Street, where residents can shop and socialize, or in this case, revolutionize. In recent years, Orlando’s Audubon Park Garden District has gone from an unmemorable stretch of stores to a simultaneously hip and charming neighborhood. It’s a prime example of what can be done when a community works together and takes its future into its own hands. From creating a local-only farmers market to transforming yards into gardens, residents have taken great strides in transforming Audubon Park into a sustainable and eco-friendly community.

All of this hard work has paid off, earning Audubon Park the 2016 Great American Main Street Award. Watch the video below to learn more about what makes the Audubon Park Garden District so special:
