The Botanical Garden

The New Orleans Botanical Garden opened in 1936 as New Orleans' first public classical garden combining both art and nature and is one of the few remaining examples of public garden design from the WPA and Art Deco Period.

The garden contains lush plants from all over the world set among the nation's largest stand of mature live oaks. The site contains the recently renovated Conservatory, several theme gardens containing lush plantings and flowering plants. Several areas of the garden are avaialble for rental in combination with our facilities, including the Pavilion of the Two Sisters, the Garden Study Center, the Lath House, and the Conservatory of the two Sisters.
