The Sunday picnic and tour was at the garden of Caroline Dormon
After a heartwarming introduction to the Society by @amsprott the group was overcome with the natural beauty of her gardens!

Our final stop for the day was Melrose Plantation

Our final stop for the day was Melrose Plantation for tours of the big house, Africa House and Yucca.
Amazing stories of labor and love with the centerpiece being the folk art of Clementine Hunter.
Melrose was used as an artist’s colony or retreat in the middle part of the 20th Century and Clementine, a brilliant plantation worker, was able to paint her portrayals of life around her with the discarded art materials/paints from the visiting artists.
An extraordinary seated dinner of creole cuisine followed the tours.
A good time was had by all! 🌱

UNDERWAY!
Our board meeting, annual meeting and garden tours are underway in Natchitoches Louisiana!
It’s a charming town full of wonderful gardens and early architecture!
