The Samuel P. Capen Garden Walk began in 2002 with 24 gardens to showcase the neighborhoods surrounding the University at Buffalo South Campus, including University Heights, Buffalo, Eggertsville and Amherst. Samuel P. Capen was the first full-time, salaried Chancellor of the University of Buffalo. 2012 will mark the 11th year of the Garden Walk which is a free self-guided tour of more than 60 private gardens and carefully nurtured public spaces. The Capen Garden Walk is designed to encourage neighborhood beautification and to build community among neighbors. The date of this year's Capen Garden Walk is Saturday, July 14. More information is below.
