Review:
The Afton Villa Gardens in the laid-back town of St. Francisville, Louisiana is one of the state’s more unique plantations. Named after a gothic antebellum mansions that was destroyed in 1963 by a fire, the gardens span across the more than 20-acre grounds around and on the ruins of multiple historic buildings. This dramatic scenery is often referred to as “the ruins gardens,” and is only one of the Afton Villa’s features. Other parts of the Afton Villa Gardens worth visiting are the family cemetery, the daffodil valley, the oak tree-lined and azalea-filled entrance, and the formal English garden.
