What to do this month: Tour enchanting backyard spaces on this year’s Spring Garden Tour

Our May 2026 issue is here, offering plenty of planting inspiration to enhance the outdoor beauty of homes. For those who also want to get in-person inspiration and connect with local gardeners, the Friends of LSU Hilltop Arboretum have just the event as the group will present its annual Spring Garden Tour on May 17.

Guests will enjoy the flourishing outdoor spaces of Southdowns, Old Goodwood and Glenmore Place neighborhoods. If you’ve ever wanted to peek in your neighbor’s backyard, this is the event for you.
