University District Office Survey for Dartmouth Garden

The City of Buffalo, University District Council Member Rasheed N.C. Wyatt, and the University District community are asking for community input in regard to the future of the Bailey-Dartmouth Community Garden.

The Bailey-Dartmouth Garden was established in memory of 3-year-old child, Shaquanna Terice Jackson who perished in a fire on the site on March 15, 1998.  The purpose was to Restore Hope to the Community.

What is a Community Garden?
A Community Garden is typically developed on a vacant lot with the goal of creating a shared sense of purpose that empowers a community, creates environmental awareness, and improves public health.  It requires support from the local neighborhood, in both the use and the maintenance of the space.  A Community Garden is not a City Park and is not maintained by the City.  In order to remain viable, a Community Garden must provide value to the local neighborhood and be maintained by residents and businesses within the neighborhood. 

What is the Bailey-Dartmouth Community Garden?
The Bailey-Dartmouth Community Garden was constructed in 2006 on a vacant lot at the corner of Bailey and Dartmouth Avenues that had been a dumping ground and community eyesore.  It was developed through a community-led effort and participation from the University at Buffalo’s School of Architecture and Planning.  A young girl had lost her life in a house fire on the site, and the garden was dedicated to her memory. The garden consists mainly of brick paver pathways, trees and perennial plantings.  The Community Garden is currently held under the umbrella of Grassroots Gardens WNY and maintenance efforts are coordinated by the The Tool Library.  The community volunteers who had been active in managing and maintaining the garden are aging out and new community leadership and support is needed.
