Send us your photos!
Kathi and Craig Schwab sent us pictures that they took of their garden during this year’s Ken-Ton Garden Tour in July.
Here’s a view from their garden during the nighttime portion of the walk, and on the Your Photos Page, you can see a view of the same section of the garden taken during the day.
“Once again, Ken-Ton’s garden tour was a success and we got such great feedback on the Saturday Night Lights,” Kathi said. “This was our second year for the night lights tour and we had 25 gardens registered for it. We had close to 70 gardens for the daytime tour.”
If you would like to share a photo of your garden or another garden in Western New York, attach it to an e-mail and send it to me at Connie@Buffalo-NiagaraGardening.com. Please include some information about what we see in the photo to help me as I write the caption.

Thanks! I took it with a point-and-shoot camera without a tripod, so it’s not as clear as I would like it to be, but I think it serves the topic well.
I love your sunset photo Connie. What a great view of the windmills.
