Ima Hogg intended the gardens to be outdoor living space. Most of the gardens were designed and planted between 1934 and 1942, and changed very little until 1957, when the estate was donated to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The museum now hosts regular programs and events that are open to the public on the Bayou Bend property. The home and gardens are also available for a limited number of private events arranged by the museums special events staff. | Source: Museum of Fine Arts, HoustonDownload Original File
