One of New Orleans City Park's greenhouses where volunteers once rooted cuttings of plants from the Botanical Garden and later had plant sales to raise money for the Garden. I have attended many Saturday morning sales here. There were more greenhouses on this site but they must have floated away or were blown away by Katrina.
This area was 20 feet under water for at least two weeks. About 80 per cent of New Orleans looks like this. Someone had just finished cooking his lunch in the foreground where a small fire is still smouldering.
Anyone wishing to donate to the rebuilding and restoring of the Botanical Garden in City Park will be greatly appreciated. I was told last night that the first efforts at City Park is the refurbishing and restoring of the Garden. The old saying "Man does not live by bread alone" certainly applies here.
