Nola Flora 4536 Magazine St.
The already festive building at 4536 Magazine St. where Nola Flora is located is eye-catching enough, but it just got enhanced.
Their storefront float theme is the shop’s name and it features giant flowers and a flowering vine going up the front and side of the building.
Nola Flora is located on the Uptown parade route, so when parades were cancelled for this year, it was truly discouraging. But being good New Orleanians, they took the bad stuff that came their way, covered it in glitter and kept on going.
“As much as we love decorating the shop, we wanted something really dramatic,” said Ashley Watkins-Bateman, the owner. They called in a professional.
Gardening: Choose the best trees for screening your garden
With Jo McGarry of Caragh Nurseries

Some of our most popular items here at Caragh Nurseries are specimen trees used for screening. As well as creating structure and seasonal interest in the garden, screening trees provide valuable privacy and can also be used to hide undesirable views.
Mature trees, espalier trees and evergreen trees are all ideal for screening naturally.
The most popular trees used for screening often have a clear stem of about two metres, with a full head of foliage above. This is particularly effective for blocking a view from overlooking neighbours and also useful for customers who want to meet a hedge or keep an attractive wall in sight. Feathered trees provide screening from the ground up with full growth from top to bottom. At Caragh Nurseries, we specialise in both.
