Building beauty across Buffalo makes our whole region stronger, and Gardens Buffalo Niagara continues to partner with block clubs and community groups on projects like community gardens, street-side planters, historical garden restoration, annuals for baskets–pretty much any garden-related project limited only by your imagination!

Gardening transforms communities. The creativity and commitment of gardeners help their neighborhoods become more beautiful, with stronger connections, and even contribute to the health of our local ecology. 

Gardens Buffalo Niagara creates more vibrant and beautiful communities by sharing our gardens through events like Garden Walk Buffalo, America’s largest garden tour; the East Side Garden Walk; Tours of Open Gardens on Thursdays and Fridays in July; the Buffalo Style Garden Art Sale; Urban Farm Day; and promoting the many other regional garden tours in the region.
