Our Botanical Bash is off to the races! Grab your hats and hold your horses as we celebrate our Botanical Gardens—Kentucky Derby Style!  Sip on handcrafted cocktails while you bid on exciting auction items to raise funds for the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. 

Tickets include an open bar, a delicious cocktail party style meal from our amazing catering partners, music and entertainment, games, a digital auction experience, valet parking, and of course, access to the beautiful conservatory. 

VIP Tickets include: all of the above plus access to our new Rose Room! The Rose Room will include access to a private room with exclusive seating, tables, and drink service under the twinkling lights of our unique pollinator exhibit.

At this year’s Botanical Bash, we’re raising funds through our Mission Project to expand our apiary efforts by introducing 4 additional hives at the Botanical Gardens! Bees play an incredibly important role in the pollination of plants in nature, and they’re even helping out in our conservatory! Since introducing bees to our Farm Garden in 2023, we have been able to grow and donate more produce than ever before!

We’re adding:

  • 4 new beehives
  • New bee colonies
  • Additional beekeeping equipment and supplies
  • And more!

With your help, we can support our favorite pollinators and develop future programming to teach our visitors about the important role they play in our ecosystem. Donate today!
