Today was day one of the Buffalo GardenWalk. This event keeps growing and has more than 260 houses participating this year. The event concludes tomorrow with day 2 from 10am to 4pm. If you’ve never taken the walk, by all means get out Sunday and see what you are missing. Many of the gardens are absolutely breath-taking. I am amazed at what some people have managed to do, even with limited space.

I only had the opportunity today to visit a small fraction of the homes participating. Tomorrow I hope to have more time to enjoy this exhibition. I put together a slide-show from some of the homes I visited. All of the pictures were taken along a one block stretch of North Pearl, between Virginia and Allen Streets. Besides the homes that have officially entered the GardenWalk, you will see other lovely homes and gardens while strolling the streets.

The walk is a free, self-guided tour. It is one of the largest tours of its kind in the country. You can get more information here, including the locations providing free maps to help you plan your viewing. Enjoy some of the jewels pictured below and go see the rest tomorrow!
