West Side Community Garden
The West Side Community Garden is a privately owned park in Manhattan, New York City, United States. It is located between West 89th Street and West 90th Street in the middle of the block between Amsterdam Avenue and Columbus Avenue.
==History==
The WestSide Community Garden was founded in 1975 on a large vacant lot filled with garbage and stripped cars locally known as "strip city" which fronted on Columbus Avenue between West 89th and 90th streets. The vacant lot was designated development Site 35 by the City and was part of the comprehensive West Side Urban Renewal Plan. The WestSide Community Garden was incorporated in 1983 as a New York State Not For Profit Organization with the help of the Trust for Public Land. About the same time, the City awarded Site 35 development rights to the developers Jerry Kretchmer and Joe Wasserman. A long negotiation with the developers and the Community Planning Board 7 began and in 1985 the Garden won the right to permanent Garden status in the Community board by one vote. It was subsequently approved by the NYC City Planning Board, the City Council and the Mayor. We had won for a permanent garden in Manhattan. The new garden would be about one third of the original Garden site and a memorandum of understanding was signed with the developer for the design and development of the permanent garden. The community garden members developed the concept for the public flower park and amphitheater, and landscape designer Terry Schnadelback designed the permanent award winning Garden design based on their concept. Construction finally began fall 1987 and the new garden was ready Summer 1988. The land was deeded to the WestSide Community Garden Inc. in a complicated seven hour, three part closing, the day before Thanksgiving in 1989- from the City to the developer, to Trust for Public Land- to the Garden entity. The closing took place in small room in downtown Manhattan and each representatives for entity involved was present with their team of attorneys present as well as the Title Company.
