Book release celebration for "Garden Legacy"
April 12, 2017, 12–12 a.m.
THNOC celebrates the release of Garden Legacy with authors Mary Louise Mossy Christovich and Roulhac Bunkley Toledano.
Garden Legacy accords the rich French-American tradition of landscape design and horticultural study its rightful place in transatlantic cultural history. This richly illustrated survey showcases colonial-era maps and prints from European and North American archives; the remarkable 19th-century plan-boook collection of the New Orleans Notarial Archives; and contemporary memoirs of early Louisiana explorers and naturalists.
Join THNOC and the authors as we celebrate three centuries of New Orleans garden design.
