      ~ Kathy Purdy, ColdClimateGardening.com

      “Sally Cunningham invited me to Buffalo to see some gardens. She introduced Jim Charlier and they led me down the Buffalo-style garden path. I was enthralled. Now Jim and Sally have produced this wonderful book about creating such gardens and it’s as different and delightful as those gardens.”

      Praise for

      Garden Walk Buffalo and “Buffalo-style”

      “The Buffalo-style garden is an original American contribution to landscape design.

      ~ Allan Becker, garden designer, GardenGuruMontreal.ca

      “Buffalo-style Garden – It’s a thing. Each garden has one thing in common: a uniquely personal feel that is not always present in garden-tour gardens.”

      ~ Marianne Willburn, SmallTownGardener.com

      “I don’t live in Buffalo, New York, but I sure wish I did after falling hopelessly in love with its romantic “Buffalo-style” gardens – personable, clever, and enchanting. My imagination soars to bring that philosophy to my garden 1500 miles away.”

      ~ Linda Lehmusvirta, producer, Central Texas Gardener, PBS

      “I couldn’t get over how many eye-catching gardens were in each neighborhood; all on tiny city lots, and each was unique… Each community’s neighborhoods of gardens brought people together, whether it was a passerby stopping to admire them or neighbors connecting and relaxing together on a summer evening.”

      ~ Susan Mulvihill, SusansInTheGarden.com

      “I always point to the City of Buffalo as a destination that has transformed back, front and side yard gardens into tourist attractions with Garden Walk Buffalo… proof that you do not have to have a Longwood Gardens as an attraction in your community, to be a garden tourism destination.”

      ~ Michel Gauthier, Executive Director, Canadian Garden Council, managing the International Garden Tourism Network and Canada’s Garden Route

      “We sometimes need to be reminded that plants, gardens, and gardening are important to people. Not just to a few people, but to hundreds of thousands who enjoy the creativity and therapy of working in the dirt. Thank you, Buffalo, for providing us with that reminder!”

      ~ Allan Armitage, Professor Emeritus of Horticulture, University of Georgia

      “Garden Walk Buffalo adds value to communities. Not just economic value found in how much a house is worth, but also social value and cultural value.”

      ~ Randolph Hohle, Associate Professor, Sociology, State University of New York at Fredonia
