Quick - what's the first place you think of in Georgia? Atlanta right? Well, even I have a brief Atlanta web site but this time, let me tell you about another part of Georgia. |

Callaway Gardens is located about 70 miles
southwest of Atlanta, off Interstate 85. Originally developed in
the 1940s, the Callaway family wanted to create an environment that was
not fully dependent upon the cotton crop, which depleted the soil and eventually
empoverished the local farmers. Today, Callaway Gardens encoumpases
approximately 20,000 acres, including a lake, popular for summertime family
outings, 2 golf courses, and a variety of other amenities.
We went to see the springtime bloom of the azaleas. |

The originl azaleas were planted in a remote part of the property in 1944. |  |
