The Burden Center in Baton Rouge is an oasis for garden and nature lovers. Situated on a 440-acre tract, the station is home to a wide array of projects on turfgrass, vegetable and fruit crops, and ornamentals. Plants are evaluated for their performance under south Louisiana conditions. The research results help support the nursery and landscape industry and vegetable and fruit growers, and benefit homeowners and golf course and sport field managers. The center is a member of the All-America Selections national network of display gardens for roses, other flowers and vegetables.
