Botanic Gardens
The Botanic Gardens is a green space in Baton Rouge featuring collections of plants arranged by type and origin. Pathways connect different sections where trees, flowers, and water features create a varied landscape to explore.
The gardens were established to gather plant knowledge and educate the public about botany and horticulture. Over the decades, the collection expanded and the site became a center for learning about the natural world.
Wear comfortable walking shoes since the gardens require exploring on foot with varied terrain and pathways. Water and shade are available throughout, which is especially helpful on warm, sunny days.
