NEW ORLEANS – In early January 2015, the quarter-acre lot on South Rampart and Clio streets, located a block from the New Orleans Mission, was just another overgrown New Orleans property. But, within weeks, the two-man team of Joel Hitchcock and Jimmy Seely transformed the property into an urban farm and event space by removing more than 2,000 bricks by hand, bringing in truckloads of manure, building seating, a goat pen, a quail coop, bee hives, irrigation, a brick wood-fire oven and grill, and a stage for live music.
Paradigm Gardens, hailed as a magical garden oasis in Central City, has announced its fall dinner/concert series and Pizza & Pie series schedules.
On Tuesday, Sept. 26, Paradigm Gardens will kick off its six installment fall dinner/concert series featuring New Orleans’ top chefs, oyster shuckers, drinks and bands.

The original Folk stylings of the Zac Maras quartet will be on sonic display, keeping the crowd grooving under the stars.
