I set aside a bit more time today to enjoy some of Buffalo’s finest scenery. My journey lasted 2 hours and I concentrated on 3 areas; the Cottage District around Summer & Richmond, Johnson Park and West Delevan between Elmwood and Chapin Parkway. The Cottage District was very busy. It is also a very unique area, filled with cute, cottage-type homes.

I am going to feature one home today, showcasing the home with some descriptions and photos I took. The featured home is on Johnson Park. The first picture is what I call the “gateway” to an incredible back yard garden.

The next shot is photo of a picture that shows what the yard looked like in 1995. The striking difference, between then and now, is a testament to the amount of work put into this garden oasis.

Now, the end result of much planning and perseverance. I can picture myself relaxing on a hot summer evening while enjoying a margarita or two.

This picture shows the yard from the rear corner looking toward the house.

Finally, there is an incredible pond located in the midst of all this wonderful vegetation.

If you would like to view all of my photos from the GardenWalk, check out the slideshow in my Day 1 article below or click here and you will find the pictures in my flickr account. I will be adding pictures later this evening and probably tomorrow. Check back to make sure you don’t miss anything.
