One of NPI's showplace gardens got a seasonal spruce-up in October thanks to a hands-on volunteer team led by local garden consultants Whimscapes. The Rosa F. Keller Library and Community Center at 4300 South Broad in New Orleans features a bioswale with native plants and trees that reduces stormwater runoff, brightens the neighborhood with year-round blooms and pollinators, and showcases the teamwork of NPI, the New Orleans Public Library system, the Master Gardeners of Greater New Orleans, and the New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways.

September ended on a green note for NPI members who gathered in the garden of Beth Blistan and James Cabiran to celebrate the arrival of fall.
