Diana Garden

Miss Hogg created an outdoor "room" defined by walls of evergreen yaupon hedges that separate the garden from the natural woodlands beyond. The Diana Garden is a model of classical simplicity.

Euterpe Garden

Euterpe, the muse of music, represents one of Miss Hogg's greatest loves. The precise location for the statue was chosen because of two superb trees, a loblolly pine and an American sycamore, that predate the house and still stand.

Carla Garden

Inspired by an antique carousel seat, this garden was created in a clearing left by Hurricane Carla in 1961.

East Garden

An example of the integration of house and garden at Bayou Bend, the East Garden extends the east facade of the house into the landscape.

Butterfly Garden

The delightful butterfly garden is set in a forested area of the lot. Miss Hogg first planted it with purple and yellow pansies, but after a few years she replaced those flowers with boxwood borders and a bright palette of dwarf evergreen azaleas.
