Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration,
motivation, and a pinch
of creativity.

The gardens of Buffa10 were more than lovely, they were inspiring. Narrow alleys are transformed into garden pathways, blighted views into beautiful garden vistas. Buffalo is blooming and it was exciting to experience! Each garden we toured spoke a message of its own, these are a few of my favorites:
Growing space is everywhere, including narrow corridors, basement window ledges and telephone poles.
Simple is beautiful whether the plant, the container or both.
You never know. Plants with different needs sometimes turn out to be quite compatible…and beautiful.
One gardener’s eyesore is another’s garden vista.
Abundance is good, in the front yard it’s grand.
If you have it, grow something on it.
There’s much more to this city than I knew. More on that tomorrow…
Lovely images! Glad you had a good visit.
Wow some very interesting ideas to try!
Thank you Kelly. It was a lovely weekend of gardens, friends and a lot of laughter. Buffalo is beautiful!
I know! Inspiration around every corner..I was in love!
Lovely photos Lisa. I love garden tours for the inspiration.
WOW! I love your photos! You have a great eye!
Great pics my friend. Folks look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them about my new wonderful twitter friends that I met up with in Buffalo- BUT IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! Ya’ll plan a trip this winter to Nashville to warm up
.
I’m loving all of the photos from Buffa10! But I especially love your captions on these–”If you have it, grow something on it,” might be my fave.
Oh thank you! There was so much to take in, I wish I’d taken more pics. of the people! Next year!!
Barbara what a true delight is was to meet you in person. I daresay you are even more precious in person. Thank you…and no worries nashville is on our list of “must visit” places!
LOL! I need to think “up” when planting, I love the cottage covered with plants!
Lucky me, the group was as inspiring as the gardens. What wonderful people!
beautiful!
“If you have it, grow something on it.” Excellent. That’s what made everything so lush. Layers of growth.
