2004 LSHS Spring Tour

Spring Tour

It is time once again to begin preparations for our spring Louisiana State Horticulture Society tour. This year we will travel to Acadiana country. Plans are to depart from Baton Rouge (or wherever you reside or desire to depart from) mid-morning on Tuesday May 25th. We will meet in the Carencro area for lunch then spend the afternoon touring two nurseries and one vegetable operation in the area. The evening meal will be at Prejeans. The next morning we will get an exclusive "behind the scenes" tour of McIlhenny at Avery Island and conclude the morning with a visit to Live Oak Gardens in New Iberia. We can then have lunch and return home. More exact details, times, directions will follow shortly.
