Are you a gardener on Garden Walk Buffalo, East Side Garden Walk, Open Gardens WNY, or any of the other 14-16 garden tours in the region? Do you want to encourage more visitors to your garden? Do you help organize a garden tour in WNY? We want to hear from you!

Would you consider writing a short article to publish here on our blog?

We’d love to feature gardens in any way possible. This can be especially useful to garner more visitors to "outlying" gardens in your garden tour footprint, especially those not near popular clusters of gardens.

Once posted, it would be shared between Gardens Buffalo Niagara’s seasonal eNewsletters, four Facebook pages and groups, and Instagram account, with a reach of 35,000-40,000 keen garden fans.

Choose your own topic, we know readers enjoy:

  • Before & After photos

  • Solutions to garden problems

  • DIY projects

  • Plant lists

  • Ways you’ve made your garden personal

  • Things you do for visitors during the Walk

  • Memorial gardens

  • Garden Art

  • Themed gardens

  • Creative hellstrips (that area between sidewalk & street)

  • Plant collections

  • Getting a garden ready for the Walk

  • Photo slideshows

  • Why you like sharing your garden

It’s a blog post, any length is fine. It would be appreciated if you can provide:

  • Subheads to break up paragraphs

  • Lists if appropriate

  • Quotes (or we can pull them)

  • Sidebar(s) of extraneous information if needed

  • Links to external info if necessary

  • Photos One photo is okay, but many photos can make up a slide show or other type of photo collection.

  • Captions for photos

  • Credits for photos

  • Bio Two- to three-sentence bio on yourself to add to the end of the blog post with any contact info (if you wish) or links to professional website or blogs, etc.

To view a recent blog post with many of these features, visit Love Forever Blooms.

We'll proofread before posting. It's obviously best to get us something to post before your garden tour so there's time to promote it and get more visitors to your garden.
