Urban Roots Community Garden Center has an unusual selection of heirloom and hard to find varieties of flowers this year, carefully researched and selected by board member, Claire Schneider, who is also a Curator of Contemporary Art at the Albright Knox Art Gallery. Once Claire found the seeds for these unusual plants, she connected with a local grower, who grew the flowers just for Urban Roots. In this video, we talk about some of these special varieties, available exclusively at Urban Roots in the Buffalo area. The video includes images of these flowers and designs for how we see the store evolving, both inside and out.

We've updated Buffalo Rising. Some people haven't seen it yet, though, so if you're seeing this post, you need to refresh your browser to be taken to the new www.buffalorising.com. If hitting refresh alone doesn't do it, hold the *shift* key and hit refresh. If that doesn't work and you still see this old version of the site, try going to this story.
