GARDENS
A Graceful Garden
The garden, created predominantly
with textures of green and flowers
of white, is “formal in nature and
reflective of a French garden,” says
Marianne. “It is orderly, crisp and
sculpted with a variety of focal points.”
New Orleans’ growing season lasts
almost the entire year, and everything
grows quickly. Where some hedges
in the northern states might only be
clipped once a year, Marianne says
they have to clip the hedges about
every three weeks—so maintenance
of the garden is critical.
