Parterre Garden Lecture and Tour
by Anna Timmerman, Pitot House Gardener
Saturday, November 22, 10:00—11:30 AM at the Pitot House
The parterre garden fronting the historic Pitot House has endured many changes, but the essential design can be traced back over 150 years. Gardener Anna Timmerman will provide examples of French parterre gardens from the fifteenth century to the present, as well as formal and contemporary examples here in New Orleans and abroad. A short garden tour and discussion of plans for future additions to the gardens and restoration of the Pitot House parterre will take place following a slide presentation.
The lecture is free for LLS members and $10 for non-members.
Tickets can be purchased at the door.
To mark the 50th Anniversary of the acquisition and relocation of the Pitot House by Louisiana Landmarks Society, we are proud to announce the publication of The Pitot House: A Landmark on Bayou St. John.
Written by James Wade, with photography by Robert S. Brantley and Jan White Brantley, as well as a foreword by Eugene D. Cizek, this new book captures the history and beauty of the Pitot House. Buy your copy today!
