Discover Bush & Folsom
BY CARROLL DEVINE ST. TAMMANY LITERARY ARTIST OF THE YEAR
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN OSTRICH WITH ITS HEAD NOT BURIED IN THE SAND? How about a real emu? You just might when you drive past some of the exotic animal farms around the town of Folsom, along with beautiful horse farms and plant nurseries, as you enjoy the peace and serenity of the area.
In the town's heart, you can experience the friendly Giddy Up Folsom — a coffee shop, café and a community hub with an outdoor concert venue, a Saturday farmers market space and an adjacent art gallery.
If you want something a little different in Folsom, you might try the Global Wildlife Center safari park, where you can touch and feed various species of free-roaming animals.
In Bush, you might take horseback riding lessons or go trail riding at Splendor Farms, or enjoy live music at Wild Bush Farm + Vineyard during one of their spring or fall concerts. If it’s beauty you seek, take a walking tour (by appointment) of the North House Home and Gardens to splendor at its elegant, stately grounds, conservatory and chapel filled with art. From end to end, Bush and Folsom provide a wealth of natural beauty and serenity.
