    This is a great place to take young kids. Plenty of space to run around, nice shaded areas, some equipment to play on, and pretty gardens to explore. They also have a couple miles of hiking trails that are quite wooded, which is nice since you are right in the middle of the interstate. This area is a little BR gem.

    We just left an amazing event hosted by the Baton Rouge master gardeners association! Part of the children's gardening series - the burden center opened its doors for kids to learn about birds and where they nest and what they eat. This is just one in a long line of great family oriented events that we have enjoyed at the Burden center. From the fall festival to the Halloween events , Arbor Day and everything in between. It is always something educational as well as fun. Cost is generally low and younger toddlers are free which makes it very easy for us to enjoy as an entire family. They either have access to their facility restrooms or provide port a potties all of the events which is also very appreciated! Take a stroll down the children's garden for free as well, check out what they are growing there and then have a taste of the locally harvested honey and tomatoes!

    The gardens are beautiful and definitely a lovely place to retreat from your everyday hustle and bustle. Come frolic in the gardens, sit on the wooden chair swing, rock on the see-saw and/or sway from the tree swing. A picturesque spot for photos or grab a book and enjoy the outside air and relax. My family and I visited this past weekend and were thrilled to be outside now that fall has arrived. Experience a sense of calmness and serenity here. The ambiance is rustic and the gardens are lush. Children will especially enjoy the wide, open space to play and laugh. Burden Center also has a beautiful private space for special events, too. Make sure to check out for your next shindig. It's also located in the same area as The Rural Life Museum. If you're planning for a staycation, pop by here for some meditation and relaxation time.

    The best day of my life!

    My boyfriend of 4 years proposed in front of the Orangerie! This is such a picture-perfect venue for any event! Sadly we won't have our wedding there due to our guest and wedding party population exceeding the maximum capacity, but this is such a beautiful location!!!!

    You are here!

    Another hidden gem in this wonderful city! Was looking for free adventures to get into with my 2-year old and stumbled across this awesome piece of nature. Over 300 acres of botanical gardens and scenery. Key word...free! Let my son run himself tired. A true win-win!

    Louisiana Nursery - Spring Wreath Making Workshop - supplies

    Our instructor Kyla was awesome! She shared her background, the store's story and detailed…read moreinstructions in each step of the wreath making. I enjoyed how she encouraged individualism and creativity. Each of us started with the same supplies but had varied end products while learning the same sustainable skills of wreath making! Kyla also taught us a tucking method, so that we could repurpose our decorations and the wreath for other seasons! This further added to the value of the workshop. But there were hot glue guns available for permanent designs as well.

    So much more than just a plant shop! I was blown away by the variety of stuff in here…read more Right when you walk inside, there is so much to look at. Of course, there we're plant things (watering cans, gloves, seeds, etc.) but there was also home decor items, candles, pillows, swings... I could go on and on! It was actually pretty organized and everything was presented well. When we got outside, to actually shop for what we came for, there were endless amounts of sections and row of flowers. Just beautiful! We were looking for plants on my front patio, which gets full sun. When we were just walking around, an employee asked if we needed his assistance and he helped us find the perfect plants for my house. Checkout seemed chaotic, but it went pretty fast. The line was backed up into the plant section, and we were worried that it would take years to checkout, but to our surprise, very fast! I immediately planted my plants right when I got home, and they look perfect! Such a great plant shop!
