INDOOR GARDENING : GARDENING : BOTANICAL GARDENS : UNITED STATES: CITIES: BUFFALO, NEW YORK: $3 Million Renovation to Botanical Gardens is Underway ... ... $3 Million Renovation to Botanical Gardens is Underway 1,200-pound cycad moved after 70 years By Jane Kwiatkowski Radlich on July 23, 2015 - 9:13 PM updated July 23, 2015 at 10:42 PM The Buffalo News http://www.buffalonews.com/city-region/south-buffalo/ 3-million-renovation-to-botanical-gardens-is-underway-20150723 ...

As the initial phases of the $3 million renovation at the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens began to take shape shortly after Memorial Day, it was clear the prickly cycad had to be moved. The 500-year-old, palmlike plant had lived happily for 70 years under the domes of the Victorian conservatory on South Park Avenue. ...

Swarts was joined by a small group of county officials and garden enthusiasts who were gathered on the North Domes front lawn late Thursday morning to deliver the update on the garden project. ...
