A retired professor from the LSU School of Landscape Architecture, Abbey will trace the gardens beginning from the first plantings in 1976 and give a hint of whatâs planned for the future.
The event, hosted by the Baton Rouge Botanic Garden Foundation, will have limited in-person seating or online on Facebook Live.Â
Abbey will provide a guided chronology from the time the land was a successful plantation through its use as the Baton Rouge Airport until it became the 10 wonderful gardens within a garden today. The most recent addition, The Southern Classic Walkway featuring Southern Living Plants, opened in 2018. The gardens connect to the East Baton Rouge Main Library on Goodwood Boulevard.
