In memory of Mark Mortenson.

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.

We appreciate your support and understanding as we mourn the loss of our dear colleague and friend. Mark will be profoundly missed by our community.

Honoring Mark Mortenson
