Garden Walk Calls For Homes
Do you have a garden worth showing off? Want to partake in one of the countries largest garden tour? Then get your application into Garden Walk because they are preparing for their 14th annual tour.
Garden Walk hopes to get new homes to join the tour this year. There is no entry fee and the only stipulation is the garden must be encompassed in a certain area. The boundaries are from the Peace Bridge to Main Street and the Erie Basin Marina to Forest Avenue.
This is not a competition between gardens and to go on the walk is free. There is even a bus being provided this year to tired walkers free of charge. The tour is self-guided and has over 260 gardens and 45,000 walkers. It gives visitors a chance to view many private gardens.
This year’s tour is on Saturday and Sunday, July 26th and 27th from 10am to 4pm. There are three headquarters around the Garden Walk area that will have a guidebook as well as the official 2008 t-shirts, available with a $15 donation. The event is rain or shine and you can find our more information at their website.

This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

My Favorite Buildings
This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …
