Phone: 1-585-271-3361
George Eastman Museum continues the colorful legacy and tradition of George Eastman, filling the conservatory and palm house with more than 2,000 tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, amaryllis, and freesias, in vibrant shades of white, yellow, rosy pink, soft orange, salmon copper, scarlet, plum, lavender and deep blue — the same colors Eastman featured 100 years ago. During Eastman's residency at the house between 1905 and 1932, he ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year (except 1918, when a wartime coal shortage forced him to close his greenhouses) to decorate his Conservatory. The two-week display is a welcome treat for the eyes and nose in the midst of winter. Experience this splash of spring while visiting the stunning mansion.

Lumagination transforms the Buffalo Botanical Gardens into a magical world with state-of-the-art lighting and sound technology that will excite the imagination and stimulate the senses of all ages! Colorful special-effects, pieces of art, waterfalls, and thematic creations transform the familiar botanical gardens into something entirely different.
The visionary tour through the magical world of Lumagination takes guests on a tour of the greenhouses, each with their own theme enhanced by light and sound. This year's theme provides an aquatic “under-the-sea” experience where over-sized coral will decorate the Main Palm Dome giving visitors the feeling of walking the sea floor as fish are projected onto the ceiling above. The Aquatic Garden and Asia Rainforest will be laced with paper jellyfish and intricate lighting designs, while glow-in-the-dark plankton will illuminate the Desert Room. Other greenhouses display beautiful glass coral sculptures, optical rugs, and “sea aliens.” The Wegmans Family will offer interactive fun for children of all ages.

George Eastman Museum continues the colorful legacy and tradition of George Eastman, filling the conservatory and palm house with more than 2,000 tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, amaryllis, and freesias, in vibrant shades of white, yellow, rosy pink, soft orange, salmon copper, scarlet, plum, lavender and deep blue — the same colors Eastman featured 100 years ago. During Eastman's residency at the house between 1905 and 1932, he ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year (except 1918, when a wartime coal shortage forced him to close his greenhouses) to decorate his Conservatory. The two-week display is a welcome treat for the eyes and nose in the midst of winter. Experience this splash of spring while visiting the stunning mansion.

During Eastman's residency at the house between 1905 and 1932, he ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year (except 1918, when a wartime coal shortage forced him to close his greenhouses) to decorate his Conservatory. The two-week display is a welcome treat for the eyes and nose in the midst of winter. Experience this splash of spring while visiting the stunning mansion.

George Eastman Museum continues the colorful legacy and tradition of George Eastman, filling the conservatory and palm house with more than 2,000 tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, amaryllis, and freesias, in vibrant shades of white, yellow, rosy pink, soft orange, salmon copper, scarlet, plum, lavender and deep blue — the same colors Eastman featured 100 years ago. During Eastman's residency at the house between 1905 and 1932, he ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year (except 1918, when a wartime coal shortage forced him to close his greenhouses) to decorate his Conservatory. The two-week display is a welcome treat for the eyes and nose in the midst of winter. Experience this splash of spring while visiting the stunning mansion.

George Eastman Museum continues the colorful legacy and tradition of George Eastman, filling the conservatory and palm house with more than 2,000 tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, amaryllis, and freesias, in vibrant shades of white, yellow, rosy pink, soft orange, salmon copper, scarlet, plum, lavender and deep blue — the same colors Eastman featured 100 years ago. During Eastman's residency at the house between 1905 and 1932, he ordered tens of thousands of bulbs from Holland every year (except 1918, when a wartime coal shortage forced him to close his greenhouses) to decorate his Conservatory. The two-week display is a welcome treat for the eyes and nose in the midst of winter. Experience this splash of spring while visiting the stunning mansion.

Lumagination transforms the Buffalo Botanical Gardens into a magical world with state-of-the-art lighting and sound technology that will excite the imagination and stimulate the senses of all ages! Colorful special-effects, pieces of art, waterfalls, and thematic creations transform the familiar botanical gardens into something entirely different.
The visionary tour through the magical world of Lumagination takes guests on a tour of the greenhouses, each with their own theme enhanced by light and sound. This year's theme provides an aquatic “under-the-sea” experience where over-sized coral will decorate the Main Palm Dome giving visitors the feeling of walking the sea floor as fish are projected onto the ceiling above. The Aquatic Garden and Asia Rainforest will be laced with paper jellyfish and intricate lighting designs, while glow-in-the-dark plankton will illuminate the Desert Room. Other greenhouses display beautiful glass coral sculptures, optical rugs, and “sea aliens.” The Wegmans Family will offer interactive fun for children of all ages.

The New York Times has called his work “classic pop perfection.”
Cam Caruso is a singer-songwriter from Oswego, NY. For the past five years, he has been performing around Central NY while finding his own voice.

He wrote the album's single ("Hypnotized") and ballad ("The World of You and Me") when he was only 17 years old. Cam did not win a SAMMY that year, but that did not stop him from getting back in the studio two months later. Cam released his EP, Up Above & Down Below, in August of 2019.
Oswego-based singer-songwriter Andrew Myers will cut through to your emotional core with his soul-driven voice, and deeply personal songs.

Painting in Place: Paying Tribute to Nature in a Windigo World
Oil paintings by Elizabeth MacFarland
February 29 – April 29, 2020
RECEPTION with music by jazz pianist David Spring | March 13th, 5-7 PM
Most of Elizabeth MacFarland’s recent paintings have been done within a few miles radius of where she lives in the northern Catskills. She finds inspiration and interest all around her without going far. In this way, Elizabeth practices standing still and learns to see the treasures of the natural world right in front of her. Elizabeth hopes that her paintings can serve as a window into the treasures we still have, and also perhaps as a call to protect those we are poised to lose.
A portion of all sales will benefit environmental causes.
