Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens

When visiting the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens you can actually see three historic attractions in one: Olmsted's South Park, the 1899 tri-domed glass conservatory building, and the Victorian-style gardens of plants (both "Gardens Under Glass" and "Gardens Under the Sky"). See History Section for more information.

The plants inside are arranged in classic Victorian style - similar plants from throughout the world are grouped together. Although there are some plants native to our temperate region, most of the plants are native to the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.
