Independence Park Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Baton Rouge, United States.
Independence Park Botanic Gardens is a public park with multiple planted sections throughout its grounds in Baton Rouge. The space includes rose gardens, crape myrtle groves, sensory gardens, and a dedicated children's forest area with native and ornamental plantings.
The gardens occupy a section of Independence Park at 7950 Independence Boulevard in Baton Rouge. The sources record no founding date, no earlier plantation or airport use, and no named designer; they document only the site's present layout of display beds and its daily daylight opening without an admission fee.
The gardens group plantings by theme rather than by region: a rose garden, a crape myrtle garden, a sensory garden and a children's forest sit alongside beds of blooming woody plants, ground covers and wetland plants. The sensory and children's sections are planted to be touched and smelled, so visitors meet the collection by walking through it.
The gardens are open during daylight hours with no admission fee. They lie in Independence Park at 7950 Independence Boulevard in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so visitors can plan a walk through the planted sections at any time of day.
The gardens hold a children's forest, a section planted for younger visitors that the sources list alongside the rose, crape myrtle and sensory gardens. The site sits at 7950 Independence Boulevard inside Independence Park, and entry is free during daylight hours.
