Helping People and Neighborhoods Grow

What is Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo?

We help people create and sustain community gardens on city-owned vacant properties throughout Buffalo. These gardens, which include ornamental, produce and mixed-use gardens, help beautify and strengthen the neighborhoods around them while providing fresh fruit and vegetables to many city residents.
