Callaway Brothers Azalea Bowl

The beauty of every season is evident at the Callaway Brothers Azalea Bowl. This 40-acre garden, which opened in March 1999, captures Mother Nature at her best. With more than 3,400 hybrid azaleas, the garden erupts with a colorful palette of pinks, reds and whites each Spring. Many of the cuttings came from the Overlook Garden, our original azalea garden. Additional plantings including 2,000 trees and shrubs, provide an array of foliage and blooms throughout the year.

In addition to the impressive collection of plants, the Callaway Brothers Azalea Bowl includes a number of unique design features that enhance the beauty of the garden. A pavilion, gazebo, stream, wide walking path and arched bridge make this an ideal place to relax and enjoy the setting.

The garden is named in honor of brothers Ely Reeves Callaway and Fuller Earle Callaway. Fuller Callaway was the father of Gardens' founder Cason J. Callaway. Ely Callaway was the father of Ely Callaway Jr., founder of Callaway Golf. Ely Callaway Jr. funded this garden with a donation of $3 million.
