Zydeco Louisiana Iris Garden

About Zydeco Louisiana Iris Garden

Today Zydeco it is a cooperative effort between the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the Greater New Orleans Iris Society. City Park in New Orleans provides growing space for the Garden. Its purpose is to preserve, propagate and promote Louisiana irises and to make plants available to parks and other entities that will display them for public enjoyment and education. Special emphasis will be placed upon conserving both the various forms of the five species and old, historically important cultivars that can still be obtained.
