Anne Baker has had a lifetime of gardening and farming experience. From her Cajun family farming heritage to running a certified organic farm and nursery in Uptown before Hurricane Katrina, and currently an organic urban farm in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans, she has learned many skills that she enjoys passing on to other gardeners and growers through writing, seminars, workshops, and as a one-on-one gardening consultant, where she gets a sneak peek at growing spaces all over New Orleans.
The New Orleans community is multi-faceted; there are as many interests as there are cultures in the melting pot of the city! The Crescent City's sub-tropical climate lends itself to year-round gardening, while the rebuilding of the city has led New Orleanians to re-evaluate how green we can be. 
NewOrleans.Com was lucky enough to snag Anne Baker as our resident Green Thumb. She is just the one to turn to for questions about growing your own community garden, starting seeds or why those pesky critters won't leave your last summer tomatoes alone. In addition to her tips and tricks, the Gardening pages also have information on tree care, lawn care, irrigation and gardening centers in the area. With Anne around, every New Orleanian can have a green thumb...and be the envy of everyone who walks past your front yard!

Blessed with the assistance and guidance of a terrific staff, the goal for the company is the same as it is for the city: to make it Great. That's why we call it "Renaissance."
