Biography and Mission.
Matthew Dore. Designer. Horticulturist.
Biographical statements generally find their opening at “the beginning,” but for Matthew Dore this is difficult to remember. His first design concept was produced at the age of four, on a sheet of legal paper with a landscape symbol stencil his dad gave to occupy him while dad busily worked away at his drafting table. Growing from here he spent his childhood watering trees in the nursery and by twelve years old was working full time in the summers on the mowing crew.
This trajectory moved through his twenties spending a lot of time in service to the industry, serving as Landscape Awards chairman of the WNY Nursery and Landscape Association, NYSNLA Certification chairperson, and president of the WNYNLA (now "PlantWNY" and "Plantasia") and the WNY Society of Organic Horticulture. Matthew left the family business in 2001 and started Buffalo Horticulture.
Through Buffalo Horticulture Matthew has continued to expand his design and landscape management expertise and resume while completing a Master's Degree in Cultural Theory at The University of Buffalo. A resident of Buffalo's West Side and Five Points neighborhood has allowed him to be close to the fluid motions of the community's shifts in value for the past 15 years.
With a couple dump trucks. a few wheelbarrows, a collection of rakes, shovels, pruning tools and a drafting table, He runs Buffalo Horticulture as the backbone of "The Buffalo Horticulture Project," which he imagines as his scholarly and creative works produced alongside of and with Buffalo Horticulture.
