Long
Vue House and Gardens
During
the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, the Long Vue House and
Gardens, like the rest of New Orleans, were not spared from
taking a pummeling. Currently restoration work is under way.
Projects include soil aeration and amendments and an aggressive
tree conservation program, which is vitally important to protect
the remaining trees. The plan is to restore the gardens, one
at a time to the magnificent garden it once was of water features
and alleys, wild, yellow, walled, and portico gardens, and
a discovery garden for children.
Visit
their website for information on Long Vue House and Gardens'
progress.
