Samuel P. Capen was the first full-time salaried Chancellor at the University at Buffalo.
The Samuel P. Capen Garden Walk began in 2002 with 24 gardens, in an effort to showcase the neighborhoods surrounding the University at Buffalo South campus which includes the University District of Buffalo, Eggertsville and Amherst.
2017 marks the 16th year of the Samuel P. Capen Garden Walk, a free self-guided tour of more than 70 private gardens and carefully nurtured public spaces.
The Capen Garden Walk is designed to encourage neighborhood beautification, collaboration and build strong communities.
