The Education Department has been going through quite a few changes over the past year.

We have added new programs for children and adults, aligned our field trip programs to the Common Core Standards and have new additions to our department staff.

Family Garden

This inside garden provides a place for safe, meaningful play and discovery as children of all ages and abilities explore the wonders of the plant world and the importance of eating healthy.

Kristy Blakely, Mary Clark & Jolene Bojar

Kristy Blakely joined the Gardens in 2012 as the Education Coordinator and was promoted when past Director of Education, Lynn Weiser, retired in June of last year.

She has a B.S. from SUNY-ESF (The College of Environmental Science and Forestry) in Environmental and Forest Biology and a Masters in Science Education from Syracuse University. She also holds NYS Initial Certification in 7-12 Biology and has certification for Early Childhood Education. She loves plants and teaching others about science, so the Gardens was a perfect fit!

Jolene Bojar, the Education Coordinator was promoted from the Education Assistant position last July. She has a B.A. from University of Buffalo and received her Masters from Canisius. She holds NYS Initial Certification in 7-12 Mathematics with an extension for Grades 5-6. She is also involved in the community as a volunteer firefighter and EMT. Mary Clark is the newest member of the Education Department staff.

She was hired as our Education Assistant in November. She is a SUNYESF, alum as well! Mary has a B.S. and loves learning about plants ever since she took a Dendrology class in college. She loves working with kids and spending her days in a tropical plant paradise!

This new team has been very busy making sure school children have meaningful and memorable trips to the Gardens as well as adding new public programming. New additions include Science Cafés, Kids Day and Botany Camp.

Tributes & Dedications - A gift to the Botanical Gardens is a

thoughtful and touching way to remember a loved one, honor a special person, offer gratitude, or commemorate a special occasion.

Gifts can celebrate marriages, births, retirements, anniversaries, or memorialize a beloved friend or family member. Tribute gifts made in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one are recognized with either a notification card sent to the honoree, or in the case of memorial gifts, sent to a family member or friend. Dedications can be given in memory of or in honor of a loved one, and a minimum gift amount is required.

Dedication gifts of $150 or more can be beautifully recognized at the Gardens with the purchase of a brick or paver in our Gardens.

Additionally, we can offer donors the opportunity to…

- Dedicate an existing shrub, tree or garden bed - Select an indoor or outdoor bench and create an inscribed dedication - Plant a new tree - Honoree’s name inscribed on a stone monument in our Peace Garden Please contact the development department at 827.1584 ext. 203 for more information about our Tribute Program.

Celebrate! “The ceremony and reception

were adorned with the natural elegance only the Botanical Gardens could provide, both inside and out. The Botanical Gardens offer the perfect venue to transition each portion of our wedding day easily from one to the next, starting our day with a beautiful ceremony in the outdoor garden and continuing to our reception in the conservatory. No need to spend money on additional lighting or decorations, as the dome itself is already designed to exhibit a perfect ambiance for your evening. The day went absolutely perfect, and every detail was taken care of for us by the excellent staff. We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful and unique place in Buffalo to celebrate our marriage.”

Devin & Lauren Zelasko - 8.3.2013

Wedding season is upon us, and we are ready to help couples celebrate! We added a gazebo to our outdoor peace garden, which will offer that extra special touch. Even if it rains, you will still have a beautiful ceremony inside the conservatory. Contact us today at 827.1584 ext. 219 or cstannard@buffalogardens.com.

Burchfield Botanicals at the Burchfield Penny Art Center. Between 1908 and 1911 Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967) created nearly 500

botanical sketches of different wildflowers and plants he found around his childhood home. Using books from the local library, he identified and documented these plants along with the locations where he found them. These sketches, which to a large extent predate the artist’s journals, are an important document of Burchfield’s early fascination with the natural world.

This exhibition, on view from June 13-November 9, features Burchfield masterworks which demonstrate the artist’s passion for nature, paired with the botanical sketches and objects from the Marchand Wildflower Collection at the Buffalo Museum of Science. Paul Marchand, well known throughout the world for his meticulous work, created “scientifically accurate and artistically superb casts of flowers and mushrooms.”

The exhibition is organized by the Burchfield Penney Art Center in collaboration with Garden Walk Buffalo, the Botanical Gardens, the Buffalo Museum of Science and the National Garden Festival. Visit www.BurchfieldPenney.org. *See Science Café: Illuminate on September 23
