tour, small-space gardening tips from Buffalo gardens, water features
from the Walk, grassless front yards, Buffalo's great hellstrips (the
area between sidewalk and road), gardening in Buffalo's climate
and urban spaces, garden ideas found on the Walk, getting ready
for garden tour, the tourism significance of such a large garden
tour, a popular Buffalo plant list, 10 great Buffalo Niagara garden
destinations, a list of all Buffalo Niagara garden tours, and
much, much more.
The Editor-in-Chief (and designer)
was garden tourism consultant and art director Jim Charlier.
Spectacular photos by photographer Don Zinteck, Jim Charlier, and others, are
featured throughout. Articles were copy edited by Cheryl Bell.
The publication, printed in Buffalo NY, will
be available for $10.00 at Western New York Tops and Wegmans grocery store
locations, as well as select bookstores, garden centers, and gift shops
starting in early April 2014. Look for a complete list at GardenWalkBuffalo.com.

The magazine is a fundraiser for Garden Walk
Buffalo, enabling it to fund Marvin Lunenfeld Beautification Grants for
block clubs and community groups. The grants have distributed more than $50,000
for 70+ beautification projects throughout Buffalo since 2005. It will
also fund Garden Walk Buffalo 20th anniversary projects, which will
include a community-wide party in June.
