The Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens will be closed on Monday, September 16 and Tuesday, September 17 as we mourn the loss and honor the legacy of our President and CEO, Mark Mortenson. The Botanical Bash scheduled for Friday, September 20 has been canceled.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mark Mortenson, President and CEO of the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. Mark was a visionary leader who embodied the spirit of our ‘Wow, Wonder, Welcome’ philosophy, enriching the experience of every guest who visited our Gardens. His warmth, generosity, and dedication made a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Games, food, drinks, and music. A good time for a great cause!
