2007 Louisiana Nursery Festival




The 2007 Louisiana Nursery Festival will be here in Forest Hill March 16, 17, 18. This is a great time to come to Forest Hill and see all the plants grown in this area. Though most nurseries are wholesale only there are many that are open for this event and open to the general public.

Don't limit yourselves to the booths at the festival sight located near Hwy 165. Drive the length of Hwy 112 between I-49 and Forest Hill.

Halbert's Nursery is located at 4111 Hwy 112 inside the city limits of Forest Hill.

If you are coming from Hwy 165 we are located on the right about a mile or so from the light.

If you are coming from I-49 we are located about 5 miles from exit 66 and we are on your left (watch for the balloons and the "Welcome" signs.)

Our nursery has 11 acres of containers plants and 24 greenhouses. We have golf carts for you to casually drive around and just look or if you are in a hurry we have a sales yard in the front with a sampling of many of the plants we grow.

This year we have several thousand Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile)for sale including standard Blues and Whites and our Purple varieties (Elaine and Ella Mae).

We have several variety of landscape ferns, Azaleas, Gardenias, Knockout Roses (Red and Hot Pink, Crepe Myrtles (Dwarf Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Pixie White, Natchez, etc...) and about 200 other plant varieties.

Our price list include a one page guide for shade , partial and full sun suggestions.

One hint - if you don't like crowds come the week before and see everything early. We are open daily 7:00-4:00 and weekends in March 7:30 - 4:00.

If we don't have something your looking for we will be happy to help direct you to other nurseries that might have it.
