The New Orleans Botanical Garden will, once again, be the place to be for gardening gurus the first weekend of October.
On Saturday, October 3, the 10-acre greenspace will be packed with experts and amateurs from all over the southeast when the Fall Garden Festival returns to New Orleans City Park. The one-day event features over 50 vendors exhibiting common and exotic plants as well as various gardening paraphernalia.
“The Fall Garden Festival is one of the region’s premier gardening events, and we are honored to host it each season,” said City Park Conservancy (CPC) President and CEO Rebecca Dietz. “This day of beauty, bonding and botanicals is special not just for the Park, but for the community as a whole. We invite plant fans far and wide to join us in the Heart of the City.”
Gardeners of all levels will experience everything the horticultural event has to offer including plant sales, educational programs, arts & crafts, cooking demonstrations, live music, and the Botanical Garden itself in all its vibrant fall glory. Specialists, Master Gardeners and CPC personnel will also be on hand to answer all questions.
Tickets can be purchased in advance here. Friends of City Park – CPC’s principal membership program – Members receive free admission.
