GARDENS
A Graceful Garden
Lush and Verdant New Orleans Retreat
L
Located in the heart of uptown New Orleans, a beautiful old home built in the
1920s sits on a small but exquisite lot nestled between the arching branches of
live oaks. The owners, who use the home as a getaway in a truly special city,
called upon landscape architect Marianne Mumford to renovate their garden.
They wanted a quiet, lush sanctuary where they could relax and entertain.
Marianne and her husband own Landscape Images, Ltd., a landscape architecture, contracting and maintenance firm. Marianne took on the challenge of incorporating the owners’ ideas and unique pieces from their travels to transform this
lovely garden near Audubon Park.
