Signs of Spring: Gibson Co. Azalea Path Botanical Garden is Open

I found something that the coronavirus hasn't taken away: Spring flowers! The very popular Azalea path that is located in Gibson and Pike counties is now open for the season. Things are slightly different, of course. Here's what has changed:

• You must maintain social distancing.
• The restrooms are not open
• No cart rides are available

You can drive through and see the beautiful flowers, which are just now coming into bloom. The cooler temperatures have delayed them just a bit. They do have some azaleas for sale, if you want to bring some of the beauty home.

I would love to have one of those waterfalls in my yard. Oh, and speaking of the waterfalls, you are asked to stay out of them. Why anyone would feel the need to go off the path and into the water is beyond me. This peaceful spot of nature can be found between Gibson and Pike counties. The Garden walk is $5 per person ages 5 & up (Bring exact change).
