Corn Maze has been reimagined this year for you and your family to "Harvest Some Happiness" with the Botanic Gardens. Your 2-HOUR Corn Maze experience will allow you to traverse the maze, meander through the sunflower fields, ride a hayride and pick satsumas with the ones you love. Other activities include climbing the hay mountain, animal feeding with Goula Paradise Farm, going on a "Rock Rascal" rock hunt, take a pic' and pick-a-pumpkin in the pumpkin patch, take-home crafts, and more! To ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees, this year's Corn Maze has a brand new layout and will operate with careful social distancing guidelines in place. Masks will be required in certain areas. Each Saturday offers 3 sessions to choose from with a 30-minute gap between each session to allow for cleaning and sanitation. Visit our website for more information: https://www.lsu.edu/botanic-gardens/events/cornmaze.php Friends of the Gardens family memberships receive 4 free admissions for 2 Corn Maze sessions. For more information on how to receive your membership tickets to Corn Maze, please email events@burdengardens.com ... Thank you to our sponsors Nutrien, GMFS Mortgage, and 100.7 The Tiger WTGE for making the Corn Maze at Burden possible!

1677304800 Family Events Herb Day 2023 LSU Ag Center February 25, 2023 February 25, 2023 8:00 AM 2:00 PM We're back! After having held only a pared-down Herb Day plant sale for the last two years, we're back with not only hundreds of healthy herb plants and LSU Superplant vegetable starts for sale, but we'll also have vendors, classes, food trucks, and more! Come early for the best selection—popular herbs tend to sell out quickly! Please bring small bills if possible to make checking out as quick as possible. And it's a good idea to bring a wagon for your purchases, also! The classes are free of charge and will take place in the Ione Burden Conference Center: 9:00–10:00 "The Herbal Adventure," a general overview of herbs by Art Scarbrough 10:00–11:00 "Native Medicinal Plants," by Jen Blanchard 11:00–12:00 "Container Gardening," by Ruby Homayssi Local vendors and artisans offering everything from soaps and art to birdhouses, jewelry, and pottery will be on hand in the open-air market and in the Orangerie. Also in the Orangerie, HSABR will have a tea bar with a variety of tisanes (herbal teas) for you to sample and purchase! This is a family-friendly event with an arts and crafts table for the kiddos, so feel free to bring the whole crew! Shopping and learning can work up an appetite, but you don’t have to starve! Food trucks from Capital City Seafood, That’s a Wrap, City Gelato, Kettle Corn, and Premier Seafood will be offering their wares to stave off the hunger pangs! In 2021, the Herb Society of America Baton Rouge Unit established an annual Garden Internship Program to enable a college student to receive professional experience in two public gardens in Baton Rouge under the care and keeping of HSABR. Hosting community events such as Herb Day provides funding to support our mission and internship opportunities through our organization. It also provides opportunities for members of HSABR to participate in hands-on outreach in the horticulture of herbs and provides an opportunity to meet and engage with the public, and give garden tours, and presentations. It is an excellent opportunity for creating a community that is more connected and sustainable. Please help us by sharing this event with your friends and Facebook groups who might find it interesting! Thank you for your support and we hope to see you on Herb Day!
