There is also a museum called the Rural Life Museum that also charges a small admission fee. This is a nice small piece of Heaven in the middle of Baton Rouge. The sunflower field was a magical place to visit. There are many walking trails. You can even rent out s building for weddings and parties. I will definitely be revisiting this beautiful place again! It's a great place to have a family or romantic picnic. They were also having a orchid sale which was interesting to look at .

I had called Todd about doing my mother's lawn but he had to decline the work as he was…read moreshorthanded. He asked me to call back in about a month if I didn't find anyone. In the meantime, someone else came out and promised an estimate the next day. Three days later he hadn't sent and estimate and when I called to ask about it, he told me that he just couldn't do the work. So, I called Todd again. He had hired more help and came out to see what needed to be done. He listened to everything that Mom wanted done and started the next week. I've texted him several times with questions or comments and he always replies. A sprinkler head was broken by his crew; but when I alerted him to the problem he was out having it fixed within a day. My 96-year-old mother is very pleased as she loves her yard although she can't work in it any longer.

This place is a complete JOKE. The level of unprofessionalism from the property manager Kamairea is…read moreunbelievable and absolutely unacceptable for a property that calls itself "luxury." Every interaction I had with Kamairea felt dismissive, unhelpful, and downright disrespectful. I even spoke with several of my neighbors just to make sure it wasn't only me and it turns out many residents have had similar negative experiences with her. When multiple people are saying the same thing, it's clearly not an isolated issue. I'm not sure why she's still employed here. The building might look nice on the outside, but the way residents are treated is awful. Management needs a serious overhaul. I would not recommend living here to anyone.

She immediately welcomed me and told me about all the great things this building had to offer. She also explained the safety The Heron maintains.

So grateful Chelsea was able to give us such a wonderful experience!

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!

The reconstruction of the homes that were actually at the those properties were done with care and accuracy. Seeing the plantation area along with the displays on daily life showed some truths and acknowledgement on what life was like for both owners and slaves. I was amazed to see that most of the cabins were multiple generations, sharecroppers and later school houses. This museum has many items that all Louisianan's need to experience and explore. The gardens are well kept and beautiful. We save various birds, bugs and snakes to keep an eye out while exploring. Bug spray, water and sunscreen should all be brought if planning a trip.
