Our Story
In 1993, Marvin Lunenfeld and Gail McCarthy discovered the beauty of urban gardening during a tour in Chicago. Inspired, they founded Garden Walk Buffalo in 1995, starting with just 29 gardens in the Norwood/West Utica neighborhood. Over the years, GWB has expanded its reach, introducing events and initiatives that beautify the Buffalo Niagara region and foster community connections through gardening.
