About Us
Rooted in New Orleans, Growing with Grace
Welcome to Garden and Grace — a garden shop born from a deep love of New Orleans, its lush landscapes, and the joy of watching things grow. We're proud to call the Crescent City home, and everything we do is shaped by the beauty, culture, and unique growing conditions of South Louisiana.
Our Story
Garden and Grace was founded right here in New Orleans, where the air is thick with humidity, the soil tells a story, and gardens bloom with a vibrancy you won't find anywhere else. We started this shop because we believed that gardeners in our region deserved more than generic advice and products designed for somewhere else. We wanted a place that truly understood what it means to garden on the Gulf Coast.
Gulf Coast Gardening Expertise
Gardening in New Orleans is its own art form. Our subtropical climate — Zone 9a — means long, hot summers, mild winters, and a growing season that stretches well beyond what most of the country experiences. We know how to work with Louisiana's heavy clay soils, manage the humidity, and select heat-tolerant, disease-resistant varieties that actually thrive here.
Whether you're planting a fall vegetable garden in October, choosing the right camellias for a shady courtyard, or figuring out how to keep your herbs alive through a New Orleans summer — we've got the local knowledge to help you succeed.
Curated for Southern Gardens
Every product we carry is chosen with Southern gardeners in mind. We don't just stock what's popular nationally — we select plants, tools, soils, and supplies that are proven to perform in our climate. If it doesn't work in Louisiana, it doesn't belong on our shelves.
Connected to Our Community
We're more than a shop — we're part of the fabric of New Orleans. We love this city's deep tradition of lush courtyards, vibrant community gardens, and neighbors who share cuttings over the fence. We're committed to supporting local gardeners, connecting with community organizations, and celebrating the unique garden culture that makes New Orleans so special.
Our Values
At Garden and Grace, we believe that gardening is an act of hope, patience, and beauty. We're guided by a commitment to quality products, sustainable practices, and helping every gardener — from first-time balcony growers to seasoned horticulturists — find success and joy in their gardens.
Thank you for supporting a local New Orleans business. We can't wait to help your garden grow.
