GARDENS 
LACOMBE,LA. 
Peauly Spot of the Paiyon Country 
Bayou GARDENS occupies 
the site of an ancient Choctaw Indian village, on the 
banks of historic Bayou Lacombe, in Beautiful St. 
Tammany Parish. Here will be found the quiet charm 
and serene beauty of romantic Louisiana in the heart 
of the Deep South. 
The Gardens contain one of the nation’s outstand- 
ing Camellia collections, numbering hundreds of 
varieties. These “Aristocrats of the Southern Garden” 
start blooming in October and bloom until April, 
reaching their peak during January and February. 
Also, in the Fall, the Sasanquas, cousins of the 
Camellias, lend their rare color to the landscape. 
While many Camellias are still in bloom the Azaleas 
burst forth in a profusion of color, usually starting in 
the latter part of February, and their massed glory is 
a sight to behold, lasting ten 
to twelve weeks. 
In the early Spring the 
Dogwood, Redbud, Oriental 
Magnolias, and Spirea add 
their blooms to the general 
effect, creating a panorama 
of beauty that only Mother 
Nature can paint.
