Help me raise funds to replace the Rangui posts in the Japanese Garden!

Hi! My name is Jack Duffy from Troop 286 and I am working towards my Eagle Scout badge. An Eagle Scout must have a service project to get the badge, known as an Eagle Project. For my Eagle Project, I am replacing the wooden posts that line the garden beds in the Japanese Garden. These posts, known as Rangui posts, function both aesthetically as well as an erosion barrier. Please consider donating to support the betterment of our Buffalo Olmsted Parks!

About the Japanese Garden in Delaware Park

The Japanese Garden in Delaware Park spans over 6 acres and is placed between the foothill of The Buffalo History Museum and Mirror Lake. Created in conjunction with the city of Buffalo becoming a sister city to Kanazawa Japan in 1962. Designing the garden began in 1970 and was completed in 1975. It has been restored several times and is continuously maintained by the Conservancy. It is designed in the style of a Japanese Strolling Garden incorporating elements of water, islands and pathways along undulating slopes, allowing a visitor to move through the garden experiencing different views and features. Every year there is a Cherry Blossom Festival at the end of April that is very well attended.
