Friends of the Japanese Garden of Buffalo

A Tree Scavenger hunt around Hoyt Lake- what a fun idea! See if you can you find the Willow near Mirror Lake, next time you visit the Japanese Garden.

Did you know that our friends at Music is Art support the Japanese Garden and the Cherry Blossom Festival, year after year? Just a few short weeks and we can enjoy their virtual festival!

Did you know that the Japanese Garden is located IN an Olmsted Park. Yep- and that's why it always looks good. Thanks BOPC for your expertise!

The garden is looking beautiful!

If you see our Explore Buffalo friends walking around the garden, say Hello, or Konnichiwa! (but from a distance, of course.) This little jewel of a garden is a great place to go to reconnect with nature and to appreciate our Sister City of Kanazawa, Japan!

This a a great movie that North Park Theatre showed a few months ago. If you didn't get a chance to see it on the big screen- it is on ESPN next week.
