The first time I went to this little garden, I took my mom. It was so pretty, and we really enjoyed…read morethe art and sculpture. So when I went yesterday, I expected more. It was a festival after all. I wanted lights and lanterns, and trees lit from the limbs. There was none of that really. And the shows were on a low platform, so watching it above the crowds was a problem for short folks like myself. All in all, I recommend going when you can enjoy the space without the people. For an interesting change of pace, the festival was okay. Lots of food options as well as local vendors. Parking was not an issue. And I even walked around the church while waiting for the fireworks show. (And stopped in Parish Taceaux)

I have a vintage film camera that's special to me and my husband, we took it all around Europe together, even into the Louvre! I hadn't planned on taking any pictures (it doesn't even have a flash on it it's very old) but I didn't want to leave it in the car because the heat can ruin the film. I got snapped at and had to leave it in a closet at the front. Then when we left, "oh, you can't take that camera in the gardens either". Dude. Let me tell you something, "art gallery" of Shreveport, you are not that special. Whatever art you have here, is not worth being so obnoxiously pompous that people never want to come back. You are a tiny cockroach of the art world. And reading other reviews where you've been so protective of it that it turns people off from actually enjoying anything, large groups and little kids, makes it even less special. A simple "no photography allowed, sorry" would be enough to let me know I can't use my camera. My camera that took a photo of the Mona Lisa but can't be allowed NEAR whatever motel art y'all have. And I can't take it into the gardens either?Welcome to 2026, where everyone has a camera. Get over yourselves.

I've been waiting to post this review until I could attach a photo, but I still haven't gotten the tech connect down to make that happen. I will post the photo later. (The tree of life I'm talking about is on his site - mine is just lighter, as it is limestone.) Wesley sent photos of the work as it progressed so I was always aware of where we were at and the progression of my piece. He was an absolute delight to work with - I'm in California, but he wrapped the piece really well and shipped it to me. It arrived in perfect condition and looks just beautiful! In the piece, he carved 6 hearts - one for each of my family members, so it has a lot of sentimental value as well as being just spectacular! I get compliments every time someone sees it. I recommend Wesley very highly - trust me, you won't be disappointed!
