Welcome

Buffalo Growing is a collaboration that brings together a diverse group of organizations and community members around a common commitment to urban greening, access to healthy food and fostering sustainable communities. The group is focused on both short term and long term solutions to issues such as leasing city-owned land, zoning for urban farms, access to resources and training/education. 

 

Urban farms, community gardens and backyard gardens provide a source of fresh, nutritious produce for families in Buffalo. They improve our communities by connecting neighbors, providing an attractive alternative to trash-strewn vacant lots, improving property values, and reducing crime. To maximize these benefits the organizations and individuals that comprise Buffalo Growing are committed to sharing ideas, knowledge and resources to help support gardens and farms in the city.

 

Buffalo Growing distributes a shared calendar each month during the growing season that highlights gardening related events and workshops offered by organizations participating in Buffalo Growing.
