New Orleans Botanical Garden Video

Here's a quick peep into the Botanical Garden of New Orleans. The Botanical Garden was opened in 1936 as New Orleans' first public classical garden. It is "as a showcase of three notable talents: New Orleans Architect Richard Koch, Landscape architect William Wiedorn, and Artist Enrique Alferez"

The site contains the recently renovated Conservatory of the Two Sisters, several theme gardens containing aquatics, ornamental trees and shrubs, perennials, and the new New Orleans Historic Train Garden. The garden also encompasses the Pavilion of the Two Sisters, the Garden Study Center, and the rebuilt Lath House.

I like the garden designs in New Orleans very much, especially in the Garden District and Uptown New Orleans where we usually bike and make our errands. The patios, front yards are simply beautiful, and more and more people are coming up with exquisite garden designs.

Needless to say, we also enjoy the various concerts the city pleases its visitors with. The Last Straws, a Dixie Land and Traditional Jazz band, played this March as part of the New Orleans Botanical Gardens Twilight Concert series. And many concerts are free!




I hope to see a plantation tour with the old-old oak trees folding their branches before returning to Budapest Hungary.
