Buffalo Garden Walk
Buffalo Garden Walk
The Buffalo Garden Walk is a yearly event that takes place in late July as gardens around the Queen City come into full bloom. This free event regularly features over 300 gardeners across different neighborhoods that participate in the self guided tour and agree to welcome visitors into their gardens.
Garden Walk Buffalo has historically attracted 65,000 people into the City and into people gardens every year. What started as a small tour of gardens in 1995 has become a yearly tradition that is loved by people from all over the Western New York Region and beyond.

It’s the garden that’s featured in the first few photos below and is an absolute must see every year.
Buffalo’s Elmwood Village is a filled with gardeners that participate in the Buffalo Garden Walk. It’s an extremely walkable neighborhood that you can fill a full day with if you plan to visit every garden.
West Side
