Magnolia Mound Plantation built in 1791 is located on Nicholson Drive and is one of the city’s oldest surviving historic structures.
The kitchen garden is maintained year-round and has been a long-running project of the Louisiana Master Gardeners of Baton Rouge, with support from the Friends of Magnolia Mound and BREC.
In recent years, hands-on visitor experiences have expanded to include a seasonal pumpkin patch event. Proceeds from pumpkin sales (along with items such as honey and sugarcane offered during events) help support the ongoing upkeep and operations of the gardens.
