Friends of
the Japanese Garden of Buffalo

The Japanese Group of Buffalo has a tradition of bringing out the community for a picnic and sharing friendship in the Garden while the early spring blossoms enhance the setting. Some entertainment is usually planned, a cherry tree or two or three is planted and good feelings abound. People bring their own picnic.

If it rains on Saturday May 17, we will try for Sunday May 18th in the Garden.

Hi,

Yesterday, (April 27. 2008) what a gorgeous day it was !!! About 30 volunteers from HSBC, Buffalo Niagara Keeper, FJG, and Japanese Group of Buffalo participated in cleaning the Japanese Garden. Abi who is a zone gardener was so happy to be able to meet all volunteers! It was the first time for the volunteers from HSBC to visit to the Garden. They love the Japanese Garden! Abi took photos. He’ll give us them. Please visit to the Garden!
