Members of the community are invited to take a stroll around the grounds of The McGuire Group’s Garden Gate Health Care Facility, 2365 Union Road in Cheektowaga, during the facility’s 5th annual Garden Walk on Sunday, July 22 from 1 – 4 pm. The event is indoor and outdoor and will be held rain or shine. 

The event is free and will feature hundreds of flower displays, hanging basket giveaways, a performance from the Diamond Dancers at 2:45 pm, a clown, a butterfly release, musical entertainment, food and handmade garden items for sale. To add to the fun, each courtyard will be uniquely decorated with an “America’s Backyard” theme including vintage baseball, the circus, a pool party, the big apple, mystical gardens and under the sea.

Residents, employees and volunteers from the Cheektowaga Garden Club have been working in the soil to prepare the gardens, pots and raised flower beds for this special event. 

Participants will be able to leisurely walk through the gardens and courtyards to view a variety of blooms and bushes as well as decorative items made by the residents and staff.
