Festival des Fleurs
de Louisiane*
*We regret that the Festival
will not be held in 2013, but we will be back with
a bigger and more
improved event in 2014!
Festival des Fleurs de Louisiane is the premier Garden
Show and Sale for the Acadiana area. This event evolved
from a
small group of individuals interested in organizing
a fund-raiser to provide the Ira Nelson Horticulture
Center with additional
funding.
The Festival is held in the spring each year. The sales
booth area provides visitors the opportunity to purchase
the newest plants on the market,
as well as those plant selections that remain consistent
favorites year after year. Not only are plants available
for sale, but also items such as tools, supplies, books,
pottery, garden ornaments and more. What makes our
event unique is that all vendors are required to sell only
garden-related
items. If it is for or about the garden, you will find
it here.
In addition to the sales area there is also a display area
by local plant organizations such as The Lafayette
Garden Club, the Bonsai Society of Acadiana, and the Acadian
Orchid
Society.
For more information about the show or being a vendor, call
Billy Welsh at 337-482-5339 or email welsh@louisiana.edu.
