Bring your labeled plants, cuttings, bulbs, or seeds to exchange with other participants after a discussion with the River Region Master Gardeners on Saturday, April 11 at 10am at the East Regional Library in Destrehan.
Author Talk: The Civil War in New Orleans
Join Metairie native Lt. Col. James M. Larkin, USAF (ret.), for a discussion of his book, The Civil War in New Orleans on Wednesday, April 16 at 6pm at the East Regional Library in Destrehan. Larkin has long been fascinated by the events that shaped the New Orleans area during the Civil War and conducted extensive research at the National Archives to better understand the people and events that defined the conflict in the our region.
