This Earth Month, we invite you to go beyond appreciating nature—help us protect it. At Callaway Resort & Gardens, conservation isn’t just a mission—it’s our heritage. From our founding roots to today’s flourishing gardens, every bloom, bird, and breeze is made possible through the continued support of people like you. Here's how you can join us in preserving this natural treasure for generations to come.
At Callaway Resort & Gardens, conservation isn’t just a mission—it’s our heritage. Founded in 1952 by Ida Cason Callaway and her husband Cason J. Callaway, the Gardens were built on a dream to “connect man and nature in a way that benefits both.” From its earliest days, Callaway Gardens has been a sanctuary for native plant species, wildlife, and visitors seeking a deeper connection with the natural world.
Over the decades, this vision has blossomed into one of North America’s largest azalea displays, extensive nature trails, and pioneering environmental education programs. Every bloom, bird, and butterfly you see is part of a lasting legacy—a living testament to the Callaway family's dedication to conservation. This Earth Month, we honor that legacy and invite you to be part of it.
Earth Month is more than just a celebration—it’s a call to action. At Callaway Gardens, we work year-round to protect Georgia’s native ecosystems, preserve rare plant species, and educate visitors about the importance of environmental stewardship. Every visit supports these vital efforts, ensuring the Gardens remain a thriving refuge for nature and future generations.
Throughout April, guests can engage with Earth Month programming, including guided nature walks, educational talks on conservation, and hands-on activities designed to inspire and inform. Whether you’re exploring our scenic trails, picnicking under towering pines, or admiring the breathtaking gardens, your presence helps sustain and protect this extraordinary landscape.
