Learning about regional and global conservation efforts is as easy as making a trip to the Elmwood Village Farmers Market on Saturday, July 11, from 8 am to 1 pm. That’s the day when Gardens Buffalo Niagara will be setting up shop, along with over 25 conservation-minded vendors.
“Learn how gardens support biodiversity, soil health, pollinators, and climate resilience through interactive tables on native plants, composting, wildlife, and sustainable gardening.” – Gardens Buffalo Niagara
