As a part of this mission, GBN hosts Garden Walk Buffalo, East Side Garden Walk, Open Gardens, Urban Farm Day, and other events that showcase the knowledge and creativity of gardeners. These events and the activity surrounding them reshape Buffalo’s national perception, while stabilizing home values, reducing crime, increasing community health, and positively impacting the region’s ecology. And we need your help!
