3 Best Day Trips from Toronto | Condé Nast Traveler
"Renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted designed South Park in Buffalo, which eventually became the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. In addition to the thousands of species of plant life arranged in beautiful themed gardens, the main attraction here is the Victorian conservatory, which was inspired by London’s Crystal Palace. No matter where you go in the gardens, you’re bound to see something incredible. Highlights include Marty the Corpse Flower, a rare plant that blooms once every decade or so and releases a putrid stench, and the Asian Rainforest, which has a koi pond, a waterfall, and a tea house." - Stefanie Waldek
