My final blog of the series on Kent Plantation features their beautiful gardens. I think you'll agree the gardens were worthy of a blog all their own. I was surprised to see so much in bloom. It was a sight for sore eyes. I was happy to be away from the snow and into the heart of spring. Flowers greeted us as we walked into the gift shop to purchase our tour. Perhaps the best $10 I've ever spent!

Kent House, the oldest known standing structure in Rapides Parish, was built by Pierre Baillio, completed in 1800. Baillio constructed the house on land received through a Spanish land grant circa 1794.
