Hello Reddit! SO many of you expressed interest in a Buffalo Singles Invasive Removal Club. I am please to say that it is FINALLY HAPPENING! It took a LOT of organizing and legwork to get this going and we will only have one event this year at Delaware Park. The wheels are moving though and we will have MORE events next year!
THANK YOU to the Reddit community for embracing and expressing interest in this event. It is because of this interest and support that we worked so hard to move forward in making it happen.
Delaware Park has a volunteer limit so this first event is limited to 25 participants. Future events will not have a limit. But I am a teensy bit relieved so I can get a feel on how to organize and move forward with these events.
I'm Johanna, owner of Put a Plant On It and we teamed up with Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, CW Native Plant Farm, EcoGardenR, and Other Half Brewery for a singles event that gives back to our community and the environment.
Due to the volunteer limit at Delaware Park, we have a registration form. We also want to make sure this is a fun, welcoming, and inclusive experience for everyone. We're asking a few optional questions about gender identity, dating preferences, and age range to help us understand who's interested and plan an event where people have opportunities to meet compatible singles.
Here's how it works:
- Complete this form to request a spot.
- We'll review registrations and confirm participation by email. Filling out the form does not automatically guarantee a spot.
- Once confirmed, you'll receive additional details, including the exact meeting location, what to bring, and what to expect.
- If the event fills up, we'll maintain a waitlist and contact people as spots become available.
- At the event, we'll offer optional color-coded bracelets to help break the ice and make mingling a little easier.
- After our volunteer work, participants will have the opportunity to continue socializing at Put a Plant On It.
A little note about privacy:
We respect your privacy! Information collected through this form will be used only to organize this event, manage registration, and help us create a welcoming experience for participants.
Your personal information, including gender identity and dating preferences, will not be shared publicly or with other attendees. Only designated event organizers will have access to registration responses, and you are welcome to skip optional questions.
We will not share or sell your information for marketing purposes. We'll only contact you about future events if you specifically opt in.
A few things to keep in mind:
This is a singles social, not a matchmaking service. While we'll do our best to create opportunities for meaningful connections, we can't guarantee romantic compatibility or a particular mix of attendees.
All participants must be 18 or older. We ask everyone to approach the event with kindness, respect, and an open mind. No one is obligated to share personal information, exchange phone numbers, or pursue a romantic connection.
Whether you leave with a date, a new friend, or just the satisfaction of helping our local ecosystem, we call that a win!
