National garden bloggers view Buffalo's unique offerings

A group of 70 gardening bloggers, hailing from 23 states and Canada, is in town this weekend to get a close-up look at the blooming Buffalo garden scene.

The visitors will stop by the Delaware Park Japanese Garden, Urban Roots Community Garden Center and many private gardens. They already are raving online about the trip.

The visit is the third Garden Blogger meet-up, following a trek to Austin, Texas, two years ago and 2009's stop in Chicago.

Charlier and Buffalo Spree Editor Elizabeth Licata, who contributes to the popular Garden Rant blog, went on the Chicago trip and suggested Buffalo as the group's 2010 destination.

Charlier said the bloggers had heard of the success of Garden Walk Buffalo, and it wasn't hard to sell them on a trip here.

"They knew something was going on here, and they were anxious to see what all the fuss was about," he said.

Most of the bloggers are book authors, contributors to magazines and columnists who host blogs such as "Vintage Garden Gal" and "Red Dirt Ramblings."
