New Orleans- French Quarter Plants

11/26/2023 | Eco Garden Network |

On a bucket-list trip to New Orleans, I couldn’t resist taking photos of plants I found growing in some unusual and tight spaces. In my eyes, the plants were beautiful and lent charm to the city. The simple plants that found the moisture and weather to their benefit

The French Quarter, also known as Vieux Carré, is the historic heart of New Orleans, renowned for its vibrant culture, rich history, and iconic architecture.

Founded in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, the French Quarter is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. The area developed around the Vieux Carré, a central square, and features many historic buildings dating back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The district has been designated as a National Historic Landmark, showcasing its architectural and cultural importance.

This elephant ear was stubborn and believed there was soil under the bricks and grew anyway. Or, it is possible the garden beside it “kicked it out.”
