New Orleans Botanical Garden

I am really unsure where all these four and five star ratings are coming from. It has potential, and perhaps its ills are a result of declining tourism due to Covid, but I was not impressed. At all. The whole place is inundated with dead plants that need to be pruned or cut back, weeds in every bed (and in the cracks of the walkways), a train area that has seen better days, no early blooming perennials, etc. You’re better off saving your ten bucks and walking the free city park area.

Beautiful

LovelynnThe Botanical Gardens are festooned with Enrique Alvarez sculptures from the Works Progress Administration that built City Park in the 1930s. It's amazing to see such wonderful art right under our noses. Museum quality work.nThe garden changes yearround, and has some regular sites: the koi pond, the alligator garfish pond indoors.nFull of information and helpful workers who can usually answer any question about plants in the garden.nIf you're a native, you can volunteer and help them keep the place spiffy and weed free.

This garden is huge! The flowers were in bloom October weekend. It is well maintained. The gardens do have rental packages available. This would be an amazing site for a gathering or wedding. The price was $5.00 I walked the entire garden in under 2 hours.

Beautiful gardens, statues, and water features. Visited in November from Massachusetts and was very impressed by the layout and selection. Plenty of benches to sit and rest and enjoy the views. I wish I had more time to spend there.
