Come celebrate new beginnings, new growth, and the beauty of NYS with us by joining the Tour de Fleur Spring Challenge! While enjoying this challenge you will be able to virtually walk, run, hike, or bike to five of the best botanical gardens that Upstate NY has to offer.

The Tour de Fleur Challenge is an excellent way to get outside, breathe in the fresh air, watch the flowers bloom, and get some exercise along the way and perhaps plant your own garden.

We will record our miles and earn ‘Tour de Fleur charms’ for each of the botanical gardens that you virtually stop at along the way!

The Tour de Fleur Challenge is a 340 mile route that includes Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, Highland Botanical Park, Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion, Cornell Botanical Gardens, and Innisfree Garden.
