Rosedale Garden

Back

The Rosedale Residential Association has been maintaining the city garden at the corner of Rosedale Avenue and North Street for many years. In the Summer of 2006 the Association lost its gardener and had difficulty locating a landscaper to take over the duties. The delay and the already deteriorating garden, due to an infestation, forced the Association Board to decide to have the garden completely renovated.      With the assistance of the White Plains Beautification Foundation that provided matching funds for the garden redesign, work began in the late Fall of 2006. The first step was to remove the infested evergreens and weeds to prepare the garden for Spring planting.  We are happy to report that the garden renovation was completed in the Sping of 2007 and visitors to White Plains via North Street are now able to see a beautiful and welcoming garden.      There is a plaque at the foot of the garden dedicated to Sylvia Pavelle from her husband that donated funds in support of the garden.      In 1998 Bell Atlantic Mobile was looking to install a cell tower in the vicinity and gave the association a $10,000.00 gift towards the garden. These funds were exhausted in 2005. Since that time the Association's dues supported the upkeep of the site.
