Current Events

On January 27th, White Plains Beautification presented White Plains Hospital with the proclamation from the Westchester County Board of Legislators honoring White Plains essential workers for the dedication, commitment and hard work they extended to the residents of Westchester County. The proclamation, signed by Chairman Ben Boykin, was given to WPBF at the "UnGala" held by webinar on September 17, 2020. 

Gardens of the Past

Plants go dormant in the winter.  This period of rest allows them to survive the cold and conserve energy for the coming growing season. While our gardens are resting now, we thought we'd brighten our collective spirits by sharing some images of our gardens in past seasons.

White Plains Hospital sponsors this Tibbits Park garden. Here is its early spring display in 2018. Bright colorful flowers and deep green foliage bring delight to the many passers-by. 

This floral display adorned the median on North Street in the summer of 2019 with delicate white and purple petunia blooms contrasted by bold trumpet flowers of the orange hibiscus.

The lovely HOPE garden, in Upper Tibbits Park, had a variety of colors and plantings in the spring of 2018. Many of the WPBF-sponsored gardens show their glory at Tibbits Park in downtown White Plains.

These tulips were caught in full bloom on Bank Street in 2017.

One of our Adopt-a-Park sponsors recently sent a lovely note with their donation. We quote it here anonymously:

"As always, and more so now, we ALL need a lift; 'Beautification' gives our city that glimpse of hope!"

We hope you enjoy our gardens as well!

All of our sponsored gardens can be viewed on the White Plains Beautification Foundation website. Click the button below for the full list.

Who We Are

White Plains Beautification Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organization encouraging gardens and green spaces throughout the City of White Plains. From the start, our organization has been composed entirely of volunteers who have donated many hours of their time helping make White Plains a beautiful place to live, work and visit.
