Hidden away right off of Metairie Road, there are some gorgeous gardens and this spot just might be the most beautiful place in New Orleans. Longue Vue House and Gardens has been a beacon for beauty and amazingly designed and landscaped gardens for many years. Let's explore this gorgeous New Orleans landmark!

Longue Vue was built by Edith and Edgar Stern between 1939 and 1942.

A number of famous landscape architects have worked on this spot, including Ellen Biddle Shipman and Caroline Dormon.

The home sits on 8 acres of gardens and is a registered National Historic Landmark.

The current mission of the gardens is to host community events and educational lectures to inspire community responsibility and social justice.

The gardens are home to the most unique collection of Louisiana irises found in New Orleans.

When they bloom, the gardens really come alive.

The pan garden, pictured here, was designed first, along with the goldfish pond in 1935.

The lillies that populate the pond here are simply gorgeous.

The gardens are available for event rentals, with a variety of spaces to accommodate a range of parties.

Even a small number of weddings are permitted at the gardens each year.

There is a Discovery Garden on the grounds that allows for younger visitors to soak in the beautiful nature here.

The attention to detail with the landscape architecture is amazing.

The gardens are open seven days a week for tours and visitors looking to explore.
