Garden Fest

The LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens is almost 400 acres of lush green space in the center of Baton Rouge. Truly an urban oasis, the mission of the Botanic Gardens is to promote the importance of plants and their environment to the physical, mental and spiritual well being of all who visit.

LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens

Garden Fest is a family friendly festival in the middle of Baton Rouge with morning omelets provided by the Louisiana Egg Commission, fresh bloody mary's samples by Mason's Grill, hayrides, educational programs, and water slides!
