Our mission is to create more vibrant and beautiful communities by sharing gardens.
Your organization can be part of that.

Sponsors of Gardens Buffalo Niagara events have the opportunity to introduce themselves to an enthusiastic audience of people who believe in gardening and love Buffalo Niagara.

Sponsorship packages are accepted year-round and range from $250 to $10,500. Gardens Buffalo Niagara is always looking at ways of creatively presenting your product or service to its gardeners, volunteers, and event participants.

Only sponsors distribute the Garden Walk Buffalo maps ahead of the Walk, if they’re able. It is a reliable traffic-builder for retail locations. Maps will be available to distribute to a sponsoring organization’s employees if desired.

    • Supporting horticultural education
    • Promoting the many garden tours in the region

  • Your brand has the potential to educate, entertain, and engage a captive audience on what it is doing to make a difference in the world today. We’d like to help you in that goal!

    There are many additional, creative ways to promote your company or organization during GBN events. Past sponsors have offered branded premiums to visitors – pedometers, sunscreen packets, seeds, planting rulers, product catalogs, discounts, and coupons. For many years, a sponsor offered free healthy snacks of sorbet in select neighborhoods at 2 p.m. each day of Garden Walk Buffalo, to the delight of visitors. Another sponsor employed chalk artists to create branded art in major neighborhoods of the Walk.
