Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens

Our living legacy

Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens welcomes the public to enjoy our living plant collections and breathtaking conservatory. Our exhibits, educational programming, roots, and relationships serve the greater community. As a regional asset, we are committed to overcoming barriers to be an inclusive organization where all feel welcome.

Designed by Lord & Burnham, our historic conservatory—modeled after rare glasshouses in London, England—opened in 1900. Located within a park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1800s, the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens is situated on 12 acres that also feature an accredited arboretum and lush outdoor gardens.

The campus is owned by Erie County and operated by the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization supported in part by public funds from the County of Erie, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, members, donors, and friends.

Make memories in our lush gardens year-round. Attend workshops and special events, or explore our extensive collections and historic glass conservatory. Share special moments surrounded by lush plant life in our extraordinary historic conservatory.
