Parkside Community Association's 9th Annual Garden Tour

The Parkside Community Association is sponsoring its 9th Annual Garden Tour on Sunday, June 25th, from 10 AM to 4 PM. The self guided tour is the perfect time to show off the gardens, tree lined streets, and beautiful outdoor living spaces of the historic neighborhood. Residents proudly fling open their gates to share the little treasures found in nooks and crannies and behind fences. ItÂs a great opportunity to see outdoor city living at its best.

The Garden Tour starts in the heart of Parkside, at the Church of the Good Shepherd, on the corner of Jewett Parkway and Summit Avenue, right across from Frank Lloyd Wright=s Darwin Martin House complex. Information and maps will be available the day of the tour. Over 50 gardens will be displayed, from modest rock gardens to meticulous front-to-back landscaping. A $5 donation to the PCA is encouraged and appreciated.

Parkside is a Frederick Law Olmsted designed neighborhood and is adjacent to the Buffalo Zoo and Delaware Park. The well maintained turn-of-the-century Victorian and Arts and Crafts homes provide a picturesque accent while enjoying the Garden Tour. Parkside is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
