Coney Island gardeners vow court fight after garden is destroyed
Bulldozers knock over vegetable plants
“Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?” Well, if Mary belonged to the Boardwalk Community Garden in Coney Island, the answer to the old nursery rhyme would be “not at all.”
Gardeners were outraged after their carefully cultivated community garden was bulldozed early Saturday morning by a company hired a property developer planning to construct the Seaside Park and Community Arts Center at the location – West 22nd Street next to the boardwalk.
NY1 News reported that gardeners are vowing to go to court over the destruction of the garden.
