Until 1981 the site of the Garden was a traffic safety island usually filled with illegally parked cars and delivery trucks. At that time, a group of Village residents, led by the late Vera Schneider, formed the Sheridan Square Triangle Association. The NYC Dept. of Transportation provided site preparation, and Community Board 2, the NYS Urban Development Corporation and the City Public Development Corporation provided an initial grant. It was landscaped and planted in 1982, and in 1989 became part of the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, ensuring its continuation as a garden, albeit without direct public access.
