The brand new National Garden Festival is a five week celebration from June 18th – July 25th, of the greater Buffalo area’s garden walks, talks, tours and events. The Festival will be like a great, green umbrella under which garden tours, the Japanese Garden, the Erie Basin Marina Gardens, the Botanical Gardens, the Rose Garden, the Elmwood-Bidwell Farmer’s Market, the Olmsted Parks, Garden Walk Buffalo, garden symposia, and new special events will be presented to garden lovers, gardening enthusiasts and culturally inclined travelers who revel in the kind of tree lined streets, Victorian architecture and locally owned shops and restaurants that are found in abundance throughout out the Buffalo region. Please join us for this kickoff party at the Botanical Gardens and show your support for an amazing event that took so much hard work and dedication by gardeners like you!
