AMHERST, N.Y. — The annual Amherst Garden Walk took place on Saturday and Sunday, and 25 homes took part in the popular event this year, showing off beautiful flowers, bushes and trees.
2 On Your Side talked with one homeowner who decided to join the fun this year for the first time.
"I've always loved flowers," Anthony Federio said. "Since I was a little kid, my hands have always been in the dirt, and last year I missed the cutoff to get into the garden walk. It was a bit of a different style last year.
"This year I knew I was going to try and participate, so I emphasized the front for that, and I just love talking about plants and flowers, and I could talk about them all day. The people that are coming through are really passionate about gardening, so its a great time for me. I love it."
Federio says it took him countless hours, days, and weeks to grow his garden, even working in the dark at times.
