North Buffalo M2M (Member to Member) Yard Tour Members Only

Sunday, August 3rd, 2025
to (Eastern Time)
2 gardens in North Buffalo

Members Only Home/Private Garden Tour

Let’s check out two WILD urban gardens — these are not your grandma’s garden!   We will visit a tiny North Buffalo front yard that is bursting with life.  This mature garden is packed with natives and pushes the boundaries of a “front lawn”.   Additionally, we will visit the front garden of the Tool Library on Main Street where they have added tons of native plants since moving two years ago. This is another space that isn’t afraid of large vigorous plants!  Must see for our “re-wilding” folks.

Exact location will be emailed to registered attendees before the event.
