| Thanks. I live about 4 miles from the Southdown Plantation and I have marked my calender. |

| I just moved to Houma. Where exactly is Southdown Plantation? |
RE: Bonne Terre Garden Fair, Houma, LA

| Southdown Plantation is across Little Bayou Black from Hwy 311. It is on Museum Drive which you can catch on St Charles Ave on one end or Polk St on the other end. St Charles AVe and Polk St intersect with Hwy 311. Museum Drive is probably only a quarter mile long. People park in the Winn Dixie Parking lot on St Charles St and walk over. It is about a mile north of the Civic Center, if you know where that is. The Civic Center is at the intersection of Hwy 311 and Barrow St, and on the same side of the bayou as Southdown Plantation. Send me an email if you need directions from a specific address. |

Can anyone tell me what time the garden fair will close? I know I'd miss a lot but have commitments 'til about noon. I live in Morgan City-not far.
Thanks,

| The Houma Courier newspaper article (or online at houmatoday.com) shows hours of 9AM to 4PM. |
RE: Bonne Terre Garden Fair, Houma, LA
| | |
| Mr. Boquet is correct. The hours are from 9:00am to 4:00pm. The gates open at 8:30am so people can get seated for the 9:00am presentation (The Irreplaceable in the Landscape- sponsored by the Terrebonne Parish Tree Board). |
