Mending of the Hearts

The Mending of the Hearts project features nearly 100 fabric panels created to honor and remember loved ones lost to AIDS. ACS hosted a work session on Saturday for people to work on panels. There was an ample supply of fabric, thread, paints, glitter and beads, and volunteers were on hand to assist with designing and creating their panels. Panels from the project will be displayed at the Burchfield Penney Art Center to commemorate World AIDS Day 2010. Stay tuned for details!

Garden Walk 2010

What a weekend! Thousands of people from all over Western New York - and beyond - visited the beautiful Hope Blooms Garden at the Victorian over the two days of Buffalo's Garden Walk. After experiencing the mad riot of color and fragrance, our guests enjoyed refreshments and air conditioning inside the Victorian. Garden Walk is a fantastic opportunity for us to make new friends and show off what goes on at the Evergreen Center every day.
