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.
