Paradigm Gardens

I don't know why it's taken me so long to get over to this oasis in the city. BUT I finally did this week... and it was magical.My friends were married on a lovely afternoon in the garden with little goats bleating in the background, not quite in tune with the musician playing their entrance music.The space is an interesting combination of rustic and charming that was just all around perfect. There is beaucoup construction going on right now on Rampart. Parking is available behind the gardens on Clio.

Wowza!Where do I begin. Had my son's rehearsal dinner here and it was perfect. The ambiance was amazing, the food was to die for. The staff and owner Joel were the best, so attentive to everything. The farm setting was perfect and the goats were adorable. A night to Remember!

Several times a year Paradigm Gardens offers baby goat yoga in additional to the many other events they offer like outdoor socially distanced dinner and concerts. I attended baby goat yoga with friends and we all definitely enjoyed the experience even though none of us are yoga experts. The staff walked around during the yoga practice and placed goat kibbles on each mat to ensure that you received a visit for the baby goats. Everyone was so busy petting the goats and laughing that we didn't get much yoga done. It was a wonderfully fun group outdoor activity.Refreshments included fresh baked pastries and beverages like tea, coffee, and water. The garden in springtime is one of the most beautiful gardens I've seen in New Orleans. The staff seem very dedicated and caring.

Every Sunday from 9am-12pm there is a plant sale with live music and some other local vendors. When I went there was empanadas and macaroons being sold. Admission is free and there are tables that you can stand at and listen to the music. There's even baby goats that you can pet!

We went to a pre wedding party and loved the garden. It was a beautiful little urban oasis and we enjoyed music, comfort food and cold drinks. The strung lights make for a beautiful atmosphere. Obviously can't fault the garden, but the cab ride over from the French quarter was pretty depressing as we passed extensive tent villages under the overpasses. Besides private parties, there is a calendar of events on the website including music nights and goat yoga. We actually checked out the goat yoga as well, but I think this place shines more as a twilight evening relaxed outdoor drink venue. I would personally pick a music night over a yoga night if I did again. Note it is BYOB.

Came across this amazing weekly event at the Paradigm Gardens this past Sunday. I had such an amazing time and can not wait for what next week brings!! As you walk into the beautiful garden your engulfed with the sounds of music and the smell of fresh flowers blooming and herbs being sold. My crawfish and spinach and cheese empanadas from Empanola were so delicious! My taste buds were yelling for more. I also tried a Mexican chocolate paleta from Bayouside Paletas, which was delightfully refreshing with its rich chocolate bites inside. My hibiscus lemonade is a new favorite and I love how it was within a mason jar. Very eco friendly and who doesn't love cups !! lol Oh I can not forget the cute goats your able to feed !! I highly recommend you check this even on Sunday !

If you happen to be in town for a concert series dinner event, don't hesitate - just buy that ticket and get ready for a great time! Walking into the gardens is almost magical and very romantic. The chefs will rotate but the food is DELICIOUS and the live music entertainment is fantastic. The people who attend are also friendly and interesting. And don't forget the baby goat named oyster!!!

Friends and I came to Paradigm for their Sunday Farmer's Market and we absolutely loved it! It's within an actual garden, a small/quaint space with picnic benches, and delicious bites and drinks from local small businesses. The goats are such a nice treat to see, they're extremely gentle and they let you feed them. Our next plan is to attend one of their evening concerts with wine. Such a natural, cozy, gem in the heart of an urban city.

We had our wedding celebration party at Paradigm Gardens during the 'Taylor Swift' weekend last month. Every step of the process was friendly and helpful, and the grounds there were exquisite! The backdrop at night with the church was breathtaking in the photos, just like the artwork and gardens were. Karen who oversaw the details did a beautiful job of working with us to make the wide variety of guests feel 'seen' in the menu choices-- and the chef was amazingly calm and friendly as he executed a gorgeous meal for 80. Every detail went without a hitch, and the guests who had previously questioned this choice of venues, ALL gave it RAVE reviews afterward. THANK YOU PARADIGM GARDENS staff! You knocked it out of the park!

We can't recommend Paradigm Gardens enough!! It is a magical little place. We were looking for an intimate outdoor venue, easy logistics, and great food - and Paradigm Gardens checked all of those boxes. Karen and the team made planning super easy. The custom menu and bar were incredible. Best decision of our wedding planning!
