The Times-Picayune featured Dr. Alicia Pellegrin’s Zen garden in her and her husband Bob’s home in downtown Covington in August. The article is titled “Zen garden lends serenity to downtown Covington cottage,” and was written by feature writer Kadee Krieger, the home and garden writer.

According to the article, Alicia’s Zen escape include “Bamboo, ferns, muscadine canopies, pecan and sycamore trees,” all part of the stress lowering setting. And also “…a dry creek bed, a small pond and waterfall…”
