Review:

The Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens are one of New York's most beautiful botanical garden facilities, designed as a collaboration between renowned architects Lord and Burnham, botanist John F. Cowell, and legendary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

The gardens, which were originally created between 1894 and 1900, are recognized as a National Historic Site today, attracting more than 100,000 annual visitors from around the world.

Stunning indoor gardens showcase native and exotic plants around the world, including a majestic Palm Dome house, an Asian-style Rainforest House, and an Ivy, Carnivorous Plants, and Medicinal Garden House, which is home to the world's largest public ivy collection.

Displays of cacti, succulents, begonias, and orchids are also showcased, along with an art gallery showcasing rotating exhibits by professional and amateur artists.
