The Secret Gardens Tour
New Orleans, LA -
The Secret Gardens Tour reveals to the public many of the most spectacular private gardens in Uptown New Orleans. Word of mouth has established the tour as one of the best outdoor garden events in the city, boasting thousands of participants annually from New Orleans and beyond. During the tours, volunteer docents direct visitors through the gardens, while renowned landscaping experts and homeowners are on hand to answer questions and offer insider details. Aside from the tours, visitors come to enjoy musical performances, walking the labyrinth and perusing Secret Treasures, an outdoor boutique offering garden accessories, gifts and art by local artists and merchants.
The first Secret Gardens Tour began with a group of New Orleans families who had been personally touched by the challenges and triumphs experienced throughout brain injury recovery. Much like a secret garden, there was little known about brain injury and few resources available to help those navigating the route to brain injury recovery. These families sought a way to provide a garden variety of information including everything from local traditional healthcare systems to locating alternative healthcare providers while informing the public about causes of brain injuries and brain injury prevention. Thus, the seeds were sown for the first Secret Gardens Tour in March 2004, followed by another successful tour in March 2005 and a four-year break due to Hurricane Katrina.
