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.
We are proud to provide a warm and welcoming environment for our visitors, members, volunteers, staff, donors, community partners, and friends. We are active in our community and seek the strength of community partnerships and initiatives.
Together, we are committed to making the Botanical Gardens an experience that creates a sense of wow, wonder, and welcome for our visitors and our staff. Our team of experts and volunteers have worked diligently to shape the Botanical Gardens into what it is today.
Our mission is to deepen the connection between people and plants through beautiful gardens and extraordinary experiences.
