Buffalo Garden Walk

16 years ago

As spurred by our discussions today at the plant swap, I wondered if Jerry, or anyone else, could recommend some of their favorite houses from the Buffalo Garden walk?

EJ, Nan, and I are planning to go together this year and Jerry was telling us how there are so many gardens, you can't possibly do them all, so he said he'd let us know his favorites. So what are they Jerry? And does anyone else have any favorites that we should be sure to see?

I've misplaced my old GardenWalk maps, so I have to do it by memory, and the little information that is online right now.

Saturday and Sunday July 24 & 25
10am - 4pm
Keep in mind, some homeowners get tired on Sunday and sometimes start locking their gates early, so get an early start if you choose to go on Sunday versus Saturday.

The 2010 map will not be available for a few more weeks.
In the meantime, you can view or print the 2009 map at this page...

If this is your first time, be sure to visit the Cottage District, one of the six major neighborhoods. It is not to be missed. The Cottage District is centered around two streets, Union Place, and Little Summer, and almost every house on the street is involved.

These are some of my other favorites...

755 West Delevan
A fantastic water garden with a huge koi pond. The koi are so big, they get overwintered in the homeowners cellar.

597 Breckenridge
A must see Japanese garden, front and back yard.

415 Summer
A cottage garden with a twist. The homeowner had no yard in the back of her house, just concrete, so see created raised beds and piled soil on top. Her entire backyard is essentially one giant container garden.

604 Bird Avenue
A beautiful water garden, and garden with a staggering variety of plants

98 Johnson Park
If you love lilies like I do, you need to put this garden on your list. Many varieties of hard to find and unusual Asiatic, hybrid, and day lilies.

75 Lancaster
A very busy garden with a lot to see. Large city lot that is almost all garden.

Let me know if you want restaurant/bar recommendations.

Jerry, thank you so much for compiling this list for me. I'm going to print it out so I can figure out what our priorities are.

Sorry I haven't gotten my recipes to you. It's been a hell of a year. I got laid off about a month ago, and then my father passed away a couple of weeks ago, so I've been just completely overwhelmed. I think I really need the day of touring gardens to be sure.

I'll try and get them out to you ASAP.

And if anyone has any other favorites or must see gardens, let me know.
