There are eight gardens on 14 acres surrounding the Bayou Bend Mansion. The three gardens that anchor the north end of the property are named "Diana," "Clio," and "Euterpe" for the statues of Greek mythological figures they contain. The remaining named formal gardens are "White," "East," "Butterfly," and "Carla." The eighth garden is unnamed. The formal gardens are surrounded by native trees and shrubs kept largely in their natural state at Ima Hogg's request. | Source: Museum of Fine Arts, HoustonDownload Original File
