Look who's coming to the Buffalo Fling!

The garden world is coming to Buffalo—and the guest list is already something special.

We're thrilled to share that we have 72 confirmed attendees from 28 states and Canada signed up for the Buffalo Fling garden tour to be held July 9-12. The community coming together is exactly what this event is all about. Garden lovers, plant geeks, creative souls, and all digital storytellers—all in one place, wandering through some of Buffalo's imaginative gardens.

We have some garden content producers on the list whose names you may know—the voices you follow, the feeds that inspire your next planting, and the people whose captions make you laugh.

What makes this Fling special is the chance to connect with your people.

This is an invitation to make new friends, swap ideas, and find your community in the most creative settings.

Buffalo's gardens will surprise you.

This city has a deep, passionate gardening culture—think lush cottage borders, bold plant combos, and the creative vision that can stop you mid-path. Come ready to be inspired.

These are confirmed and paid Fling attendees as of 6/23/202. Registration is now closed.
