New York City Community Gardens Cultivating Local Resilience Post-SandyKeith G. Tidball
Ever since Superstorm Sandy devastated coastal New York City in 2012, the topic of resilience has been at the forefront of the city's disaster planning and policy response. We recognize community gardens as imbued with meaning and as relevant community spaces that play a role in the resilience and recovery of the community gardeners that use these spaces and the neighborhoods where they are found. Because Sandy was mostly a storm surge event, this project explores the role of community gardens in coastal "red zones" of New York City post-Sandy.

31. July 2009: Second plan had 4 – foot deep pool with relatively small swimming area, concrete aprons, no sand (except for a sandbox far from the water). $10 million Some of pond would be saved for “nostalgia” (toy boats) — not swimming
32. This was serious: 2009 Village budget asked Parks and Recreation department to pursue design and construction of a “Graydon Aquatic Center”
33. Request for Proposals (draft), containing final construction documents, would have allowed fundraising for construction if approved
34. The Preserve Graydon Coalition was formed. We induced Village to instruct library to let us display this poster next to concrete plan drawings
35. Press reported on our group’s emergence and, in a sidebar, improvements to pool’s water quality
51. Memberships increased in 2010, due, in part, to our collaboration with the Village to promote pool membership
