Tulip Time at the Bagwells Gardens in West Monroe

Here is a postcard I had never seen before! This apparently was a garden center called Bagwells Gardens, located at 1307 Parnell Street in West Monroe in the 50’s and 60’s. They were known for their annual tulip display, called “Tulip Time”. This is a view of one of those celebrations.

    There is currently a Bagwell Nursery off of Arkansas Road. They might have more info on the Gardens in the old Trenton section of West Monroe.
