The Gentilly Native Garden Tour had a great first year! Our goal was to show how native plants are incorporated into gardens in Gentilly. Horticulturalist Jennifer Prout was at the #nolawildflowermeadow answering questions, and @npigno volunteers assisted with a seed giveaway, tons of info, and handing out maps - designed by @civicstudio.coop. Thank you so much to all the participating gardeners (your garden descriptions were soo good!) plus @uno.gardeners and @bastioncommunity for your commitments to native plants, which increase the biodiversity of our urban spaces AND assist in drainage and reduce subsidence. . . 📸 @potato_of_injustice , plus me @waterleadersinstitute #urbanecology #gentillyresiliencedistrict #louisiananativeplants
