The New Orleans Botanical Gardens located in City Park is featured in the magazine “Ready Made: Instructions for everyday life”.
Grow a Living Wall.
Ditch the white picket fence in favor of a lush (possibly edible) wall.
When Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans in 2005, it devastated the city, including the Botanical Garden, flooding the grounds in 3 feet of water and knocking over trees. As the storm waters receded, nurseries from around the country helped rebuild the collection of some 2,000 lost plants. Today, the garden is thriving and its renewal is a source of pride and inspiration, even as strides toward recovery remain slow throughout the city.
