The Garden Walk and Festival is on July 14, 2012 from 11am – 5pm. The Historic Niagara Falls Garden Walk will be free for the public to attend, and is the perfect family friendly event. Committee members bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to Main Street, and have already started planning for the big day.

The Historic Niagara Falls Garden Walk will be centered around the Main Street Core and the neighborhoods from Fourth Street and Park Place to Orchard Parkway to Pierce Avenue and OakWood Cemetery, ending with a tour of the planned native garden at the Niagara Falls Library. Gardens from formal to cottage will be included on the free self-guided walking tour, and local Main Street businesses and restaurants will be open for lunch or afternoon shopping. Florists, Nurseries, Artists and Garden Centered Vendors will be centralized during the walk to help supply neighbors and visitors with beautiful plants and garden art, and scads of volunteers will be available to help those less familiar with our city navigate the map of the tour. Master Gardeners will be on hand to help with general garden questions as well as garden woes, and the committee intends on making the walk as historically accurate and relevant as possible.

The committee will be taking applications during the Main Street Music Festival and go door to door in neighborhoods along Main Street from the Post Office to the Library. Volunteers are still needed for the event, and are welcomed to join.

For more information, or to contact the committee about volunteering, or including your own garden you may email: mainstreetniagara@yahoo.com or call the Main Street Business and Professionals Association office at 716-285-1318.

The event is called Lewiston Garden Fest and it will be the perfect opportunity to have fun with friends and family. The show is going to be held at the Garden Headquarters, Center & Fourth Street and it will last until the second day, June 24^th. In each of the days, the festival will start at 10 am and it will last until 5 pm. What’s even more important is that admission is free, so anyone can enter and take part in this great celebration.

The host and the sponsor of the Lewiston Garden Fest will be Lewiston Garden Club. The show is dedicated to both avid and casual gardeners and it is going to feature plenty of displays and activities. The Center Street will be filled with booths and stands that will shelter more than 50 garden related vendors. They’ll present demonstrations, decorating ideas and various products. All these activities and products are related to outdoor entertainment and gardening.

The Lewiston Garden Fest is at its 7^th celebration and it is prepared to gather around outdoor and garden suppliers, landscapers and area nurseries. There will also be a contest. Thus, participants will get to choose their preferred potted container and then the public will judge them. At the end, the best is going to win an award. The 7^th Annual Lewiston Garden Fest is also a cultural event. Thus, the scene of the show will welcome various speakers every day. They are authorities in their domain and will offer valuable pieces of advice. Moreover, the lovely village of Lewiston is going to open its beautiful gardens to the public so that people can admire unique flower arrangements and creative designs. Floral experts and master gardeners will answer all the questions and will make live demonstrations in front of the audience.

Since it’s a free event and it’s organized in the middle of the street, the 7^th Annual Lewiston Garden Fest is a great opportunity to discover the charming area of Lewiston, its natural beauty, the nice restaurants, and the lovely shops. The Garden Fest will have a few hospitality booths at the entrance as well. So, those who are interested in visiting the area can get some maps from there. Bring your whole family to the fair, get ready to have a good time, and admire some of the world’s most colorful and breathtaking plants and flowers.
