8 reviews for Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens
Just had my wedding reception at the Botanical Gardens, and it was amazing. The wedding event planner there, especially, was phenomenal, and the space got us so many compliments about what a unique, beautiful place full or amazing backdrops for fabulous pix, and everybody there is so helpful, very professional, and incredibly put together!
We knew it was beautiful from the moment we first walked in...an absolutely PERFECT place for a wedding celebration!
I just officiated a wedding at the Botanical Gardens on June 21. We had rehearsal there as well. The staff was fantastic at helping us choose where to place the chairs, the set up of the groomsmen,, etc. They were also on hand the day of the wedding to direct us if we needed it, and keep tourists from walking through our wedding.
I have been here several times before and have always enjoyed going. The place has been remodeled, so there's even more to love!
I highly recommend having your wedding there, or even just going in to see all the flora. It's a beautiful and relaxing place to visit.

I would go here every year with my family in the Spring, when the winter weather would get to be too much to bear. This place is one of the gems that Buffalo has, full of brightly colored flowers and plants. One of the things that always stuck out to me though was the Orange tree, I always thought it was funny that it was probably the only Orange tree in all of Buffalo.
The building itself is beautiful to look at and the surrounding park is a nice place to visit when the weather is warm enough, to have a quick picnic or play some frisbee.

What a truly magical place to have a wedding! It's so lush and green and. . .botanical, like a tropical getaway. Also, when it's 2 degrees in Buffy, it's 75 degrees in the gardens. I love moist heat on a cold winter day.
The married couple said it wasn't difficult to book, and you can bring in your own caterers (unlike most public venues in Buffy, which use Oliver's)
I hadn't been here since I was a wee little girl, and now I will definitely be back for an alcohol-free visit.

What a great place, and perhaps an unappreciated gem in Buffalo. The restoration job they've done on it, its gorgeous and the plants are spectacular. Really nice place to go for a couple of hours and feel like you're halfway across the world.
The century plant may be gone now, but I'm still going to definitely go back again. It's a nice inexpensive idea for an afternoon date.

I love the gardens.
As a kid, my dad was not into sports etc..but loved growing stuff. We had a kick-ass back-yard ( no really..it was cool w/ plums, figs, Chinese chestnuts, apricots, basil, roses, and more..IN BUFFALO, NY!!)
Anyway
We went here often w/o the dinosaurs they have now.
I was not a kid that loved the whole "growing of plants" thing, but I liked this place.
Weird. It had a "white noise" hum of the fans, It had smells of earth and vegetation. or flowers etc. It was TRULY organic, and you felt it in a way that was not necessarily logical.
It was rather, instinctual, like smelling the water at the shore. Moist.
It was an artificial peaceful and beautiful space.
I think about the times I spent there often, with a smile on my face, and I use this image of the gardens as a "peaceful place" when I can't sleep.
I just remember the sounds of the fans, the smells of the vegetation, and the beauty of nature.

A beautiful place to come to view flowers bloom, and enjoy the calming waterfall as you walk along and view pretty flowers, reflect on things, and grown inspired to be one with nature. Many green houses filled with more colorful flowers and plants I ever dreamed existed. All the while it's not overbearing for the less versed in the Flower world as me.
I never thought about going to a botanical garden and so glad I came to this one. I am now inspired to find a similar refuge in Boston that willl proivide the peace and tranqulity that this placed provided.
First of All.....the Century Plant is about to Bloom, 70 years early! These plants are supposed to bloom once in one hundred years and die off leaving little sprouts to carry on. Our Spring delayed the blooming so I am popping in frequently to check and see the event first hand.
Membership is not expensive and pays you back after just a few visits. The Gardens have been going through a repair since the County took over and each visit shows something new and promises of things to come are so exciting.
In addition to the gardens, there are events that are for anyone, but of course reduced cost to members. Concerts, wine tastings, lectures, even Santa Clause amid thousands of Christmas Flowers.
This is the most wonderful place to go and have a picnic indoors during a snowey or freezing Buffalo day. See you there!
