SUMMARY:Botanica: Gardens\, Landscapes\, and Plant Medicines in South Louisiana
DESCRIPTION:Cabildo/Louisiana State Museum. Until Sunday May 10\, 2026 \nThis exhibition explores the cultural meaning of Louisiana medicinal plants and how historically based understandings of them are evolving under the threat of climate change and land loss. Guest curators Rachel Breunlin and Monique Verdin collaborate with herbalists\, artists\, gardeners\, and scholars to place into context stories of historical and contemporary gardens and natural environments. \nBotanica is rooted in a series of interviews conducted by Rachel Breunlin and Monique Verdin as part of the Bayou Culture Collaborative\, which operates under the auspices of the Louisiana Division of the Arts Folklife Program and the Louisiana Folklore Society. The Collaborative seeks to document cultural traditions as Louisiana faces land loss and a changing environment. As part of that project\, Breunlin and Verdin interviewed a range of gardeners and plant specialists\, including Tammy Greer\, a United Houma Nation medicine wheel steward; mutual aid medicine makers from the Bvlbancha Collective; and Maypop Herb Shop folk herbalist Rachael Reeves. Through these interviews\, excerpted at listening stations\, along with historic and contemporary artifacts\, photographs\, and paintings from the Louisiana State Museum’s collection as well as from a few private lenders\, the exhibition explores the history and understanding of medicinal plants\, such as yaupon\, Auricularia (jelly ear) mushrooms\, and cleavers\, in a range of rural and urban communities that draw on different cultural traditions\, including those of Native peoples\, Louisiana French cultures\, and African Americans. Botanica weaves together these strands to immerse museum visitors in a world of Louisiana plants\, traditional healing cultures\, and the people\, past and present\, who make up those cultures. \nThis exhibition will be open at the Cabildo until May 10\, 2026.

SUMMARY:The Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society Tour of Eunice Prairie and Fall meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Cajun Prairie Habitat Preservation Society will be having our annual peak blazing star tour of the Eunice Prairie at 8:00 AM on Saturday\, September 7th. The prairie is located at 650 E Magnolia in Eunice (parking lot: 30.4988\, -92.4079). \nThe tour will be followed by our “fall” meeting — starting at 10:30 AM — and we’re glad to say we’re again being welcomed by the Acadian Baptist Center over in Richard\, LA (between Eunice and Church Point) 1202 Academy Dr\, Eunice\, LA. The meeting will be preceded by talks and followed by lunch in their dining room — and I have no doubt that it’ll be just as good as last time! \nThe Acadian Baptist Center has about 90 acres planted with a variety of native species\, comprising a range of different plant communities — including a significant prairie planting that we’ll be sure to check out again! \nHopefully we will get a good show of Liatris (épinette de prairie)\, Arnoglossum (plantain chauvage) and Silphium (plante-boursole).  As always\, please bring plants to donate to the plant auction!
