Perfect for a Garden Walk Buffalo Weekend, eh?
Atlantic magazine’s website called it the “best event of its kind.”
Martha Stewart Living suggested the host city may be the “epicenter of American horticulture.”
And a gushing San Francisco Chronicle writer said, “It’s more than a tour, it’s a must-see event.”
“Our gardeners are freakishly friendly,” said Jim Charlier, president of the garden walk. “Only Buffalonians would invite thousands of people into their backyards.”
Charlier’s suggestion that “thousands” will traipse through anyone’s backyard sounds fantastical, almost too hard to believe.
But John Hochadel will tell you it’s true. He had 5,000 visitors at his home on Union Place last year.
