Andrea Sprott, Since November 2010, Andrea Sprott has been responsible for maintaining the Elizabeth Lawrence House & Garden—which includes around 1,700 taxa in its living collections and thousands of research documents in its archive collections—as well as interpreting Elizabeth Lawrence’s legacy for the public.
Primarily a self-taught horticulturist and admitted “plantaholic,” Andrea began volunteering at Wing Haven in 2005 in the Nursery. She lectures regularly on plants, gardening, and, not surprisingly, all things Elizabeth Lawrence.
She is a member of the American Camellia Society, American Daffodil Society, Azalea Society of America, Historic Iris Preservation Society, Society for Louisiana Irises, and North American Rock Garden Society, and is a past Board member of the Southern Garden History Society.
