Down by the lake, crepe myrtles, a Lady Banks rose, and other perennials are a habitat for numerous birds of all kinds. This idyllic setting entices you to lounge and linger in one of several sitting areas, so give yourself plenty of time. Some people have a gift of constructing beauty all around them, and that is what you will find in this awe-inspiring garden tucked in one of the oldest sections of Shreveport. The gentle and sweet personality of the lady who tends to this garden flows into the garden spaces spilling over the picket fences and arbors and into the hearts of everyone who passes by. The verbena and hollyhock give the entrance an abundantly-planted English garden feeling.
Sunny spaces are rich with a wide variety of cannas and a formal herb garden.
Throughout the perimeter there are climbing roses intertwined with wisteria. Look for a charming collection of statues, rabbits hiding among the tall grasses while other antique statues grace the kale and abundant annuals. Parts of the garden tend toward the formal, with manicured boxwoods and ligustrum. The hydranges garden is a sight to behold. The curving pathways lead the visitor to a surprise at each curve and a small water garden is nestled at one crook.
