The Garden Library of the New Orleans Town Gardeners is an extensive
collection of published works dealing with gardens, gardening and
related subjects. Included are practical works, theoretical treatises,
histories, biographies, and reference publications. The Library is not a
static collection but a growing one that is added to on a continuing
basis; at present it contains well over 1,000 volumes representing
approximately 800 titles. |
Founded in 1983, the Library is an ongoing project of the New Orleans
Town Gardeners, a New Orleans garden club affiliated with the Garden
Club of America. The purpose of the Library is "to collect and
preserve published works, manuscripts, and other items pertaining to
gardens and gardening, particularly in New Orleans and the American
Southeast; also to promote and facilitate the use of such materials for
educational purposes."
