A practical guide to gardening in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast

Charlotte Seidenberg organizes New Orleans gardening around the conditions that shape it: subtropical weather, humid landscapes, and sometimes alluvial soil. Alongside foundational guidance on preparing soil and managing pests, the book surveys plant groups integral to the region’s garden heritage, including roses, trees, shrubs, vines, ferns, wildflowers, bulbs, and groundcovers. It also addresses specialty approaches such as container and herb gardens. With its attention to both plant selection and regional growing conditions, the handbook situates ornamental gardening within the distinctive horticultural environment of New Orleans and the wider Gulf Coast.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners planning for New Orleans, Gulf Coast, or other humid subtropical conditions
  • Home gardeners seeking guidance on ornamental plants across many categories
  • Those interested in container or herb gardening
