Jim Charlier, President of Gardenwalk Buffalo, in addition to posting copiously about the Olmsted Parks on his blog, Art of Gardening, would like to remind Olmsted supporters to get to tomorrow’s rally in MLK Park.
Charlier says, “As the
president of Garden Walk Buffalo, the largest garden tour in the country, I am
more than aware of the value of our Olmsted Parks as a tourist attraction and
what they add to our quality of life here in the city. Having the right
stewards in place to keep, improve and restore one of the City’s most valuable
assets for its citizens, and future generations is imperative.”
