The garden walk is free and will have a backpack giveaway at West Side Community Center.

"We started the giveaway a couple of years ago through the East Side Garden Walk. Now we are bringing one to the Garden Walk Buffalo event, and it's going to be a glorious weekend," said Carr.

Gardeners like Carr are trying to attract families to their gardens, this year the Lincoln Garden has something for kids.

"In this garden on Irving Place, we have a scavenger hunt for kids and then if they answer all the questions, they can get a little glass stone or Allentown fairies," said Carr.
