She was given the heave-hoe.
A Queens woman tossed from her community garden༒ like a rotten radish is hoping a judge will plant the seeds for her return🐓.
Mary Caulfield, 56, wants a court to reinstate her at Sunnyside Community Garden, where residen🧔ts of western Queens have be𝄹en planting flowers and vegetables for more than 40 years.
Caulfield says she doesn’t know why she was suddenly raked right out of the club, claiming in💜 court papers that a fellow gardener “demanded that she 🌼return her key” in May 2013 on the orders of club president Peter Coyne.
The banishment came “without any reason or justification,” Caulfield contends in a Manhattan Supreme Court꧅ legal filing against the city Transportation and Parks departments, which own and oversee t꧃he strip of land along Barnett Avenue near 50th Street.
The garden is꧒ adjacent to the larger Sunnyside Gardens Park, ♐a private, 3.5-acre green space for residents of Sunnyside Gardens, a designated city historic district.
The community garden operates on city land and was created when two local men, tired🐬 of looking at the trash-filled area, began clearing out and rehabilitating the space. Now there is a waiting list of people eager for a plot of their own to till.
Club members have no rigꦉht to kick her out of a space technically owned by the city, Caulfield argues in her legal filing.
“Self-interested individuals cannot simply annex prime city garden/parkland o꧑wned and operated by yoꦺur agencies, and arbitrarily disbar members whom they dislike,” Caulfield’s lawyer wrote in a 2014 letter to the agencies.
Coyne refused to say why Caulfield wa🐠s gi෴ven the boot.
