MLK Jr. Park Greenhouse Tour with Grower Bethany Casella
Volunteers Needed Public Welcome Free Event Public Garden Tour Free Public Parking Lots of Physical Activity
Join Bethany Casella, Head Grower at MLK Jr Park Greenhouse, for a tour and explore this 118-year-old greenhouse. This is a year-round production house that supplies Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy with annuals, perennials, and natives for 7 districts over 850 acres. It consists of four main houses, each with their own unique purpose, environment, and variety of plants. Enjoy spring ephemerals and other natives blooming a few weeks earlier than typically seen in the landscape.
Parking is off Fillmore between Best St. and North Parade St. across from the Splash Pad. We will meet at the Greenhouse.
There will be an optional volunteer activity working with plants after the tour. If you choose to participate please bring gloves and dress accordingly.
