2014 capen garden walk map
DESCRIPTION
The Samuel P. Capen Garden Walk began in 2002 with 24 gardens, in an effort to showcase the neighborhoods surrounding the University at Buffalo South campus which includes the University District of Buffalo, Eggertsville and Amherst. 2014 marks the 13th year of the Samuel P. Capen Garden Walk, a free self-guided tour of more than 60 private gardens and carefully nurtured public spaces. The Samuel P. Capen Garden Walk is designed to encourage neighborhood beautification, collaboration and to build strong communities.TRANSCRIPT
