About Buffalo-Style Gardens: Create A
Product Description Buffalo-Style Gardens is a one-of-a-kind, offbeat garden design book that showcases the wildly inventive gardens and gardeners of Buffalo – and offers readers "the best of the best” ideas to use in their own small-space gardens. Who knew? Buffalo, New York, is the new Ground Zero for free-spirited garden innovation? Learn from the stories of everyday, non-professional gardeners who have unintentionally transformed Buffalo’s urban neighborhoods into a 21st century garden design laboratory. It’s all about seeing your space with new eyes and not letting existing limitations on the ground stop you from being out-of-the-box creative. Each July, over 400 private gardens open to the public to show off their fresh, often quirky, take on outdoor living. There’s nothing quite like “Garden Walk Buffalo,” the largest garden tour in North America. With hundreds of design, planting and DIY tips, authors and show-garden experts Sally Cunningham and Jim Charlier reveal how fences and furnishings, trees and shrubs, art and whimsy – and the element of surprise – work together to change an ordinary space into something uniquely yours: your own unforgettable Buffalo-style garden. Review If you have ever attended the hugely successful Garden Walk Buffalo -- it welcomes 70,000 garden enthusiasts to 400 private gardens over a two-day summer weekend -- you might think "Buffalo-style Gardens," by Sally Cunningham and Jim Charlier is just a book featuring these innovative gardens, and that would be enough. But this book is so much more. What is a Buffalo-style garden? "Buffalo-style gardens offer different approaches, different sensibilities, no two are remotely alike," according to the authors. "The common thread connecting hundreds of gardens is the individual artistic sense of the gardener, their way of personalizing their outdoor space, their love of the objects and plants they bring to it." I have attended Garden Walk Buffalo on several occasions. While strolling through the gardens is a great way to pick up design ideas, it may not give you the skills and confidence to tackle a major reworking of your own garden. This is where the beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written "Buffalo-style Gardens" really shines. Cunningham is a gifted writer, her conversational style is very approachable, and Charlier pipes in with practical tidbits of information and how-to ideas that help to demystify the design process. Their style reminds me of a pair of friends sitting down with you at the table to help you formulate a workable garden plan. Having visited many of the gardens in "Buffalo-style Gardens" myself, turning a page was like revisiting an old friend. With the authors' running commentary, we are encouraged to look beyond the surface of a pretty garden and see why these ideas work. If you are considering updating your garden, or just want to see why these gardens are so popular, "Buffalo-style Gardens" offers plenty of practical, usable advice. Simply put, Buffalo-style gardens are unique, well executed, fun and most of all, well-loved.--Theresa Forte "How to create your own Buffalo-style garden " WOW... It's hard to write about a book when the introductory chapter exclaims it is "A New Kind of Garden: livable, relatable, original, free spirited." Have you heard about Buffalo-Style Gardens? That is the title of a book published in 2019 by St. Lynn's Press and authored by Sally Cunningham and Jim Charlier. As an aside, Buffalo, New York, will celebrate its silver anniversary of garden walks. Buffalo and environs are home to some of the largest number of residential gardens on private tour in North America. To be sure, these are very different types of landscapes than those portrayed in most other landscape texts. Something wonderful must be happening in Buffalo because more people tour these gardens than the combined attendance of two Disney parks. If you are a big fan of color in the garden then consider the s
