60 York St. has made an incredible turn around, it has gone from a dumping ground where dog fights happened on a weekly basis to a place of beauty. This is due to the hard work of the Cottage District Block Club. Ellie Dorritie is the woman in charge of this little piece of hell now turned into heaven, she along with other members of the block club bought it from a flipper on Craigs List and now have been working with Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo, Councilmember David Rivera, and the Mayor's Liveable Community Grant process to ensure that it becomes a place to grow food and beautify the neighborhood! D'Youville College is also having a clean up day today on York St. where they will be helping the Cottage District out with this Garden. I also dropped off some irises that I split from my garden!

What a transformation! This is exactly the kind of thing we need to see more of in the city. Thank you to Grassroots Gardens and the committed volunteers that make these gardens possible!
