Houmas House Gardens



















by Mary Fonseca


The magnificent gardens at Houmas House are a splendid complement to the grand mansion they surround. Owner Kevin Kelly and head gardner Craig Black offer a lush, 38-acre landscape highlighted with fountains, lagoons, exotic plants, and alluring architecture. Several of the garden areas are pictured below. When you schedule a visit to this glorious mansion, be sure to allow time to stroll through the delightful gardens. And, don't forget your camera!
