Begun in 2023, this project will enhance and expand existing gardens at The New Orleans Jazz Museum, 400 Esplanade Avenue, to integrate the Museum’s outdoor space into its overarching celebration of New Orleans’ cultural and historic roots. Our mission is for the Jazz Museum’s gardens to be living resources for educating the public about the rich and varied cultural heritage that nurtured and still sustains the music most associated with New Orleans. By connecting native and introduced plants, both ornamental and edible, to the music the museum celebrates (through interactive signage and occasional presentations), our goal is to deeply enhance visitors’ experience and create new educational and creative opportunities.
