Jungle Gardens is a captivating botanical garden located on Avery Island in Louisiana, USA. Spanning over 170 acres, it was established by Edward Avery McIlhenny, a conservationist and member of the Tabasco sauce dynasty. The gardens are renowned for their diverse array of plant species, including azaleas, camellias, and bamboo. Visitors can explore winding trails that lead through lush landscapes, serene lagoons, and majestic oak groves draped in Spanish moss. One of the key attractions is Bird City, a sanctuary created to protect snowy egrets and other bird species.
