Spring Time in Oklahoma
One of the top annual events in the South
takes place each spring in the historic city of
Muskogee, Oklahoma.
The 2008 edition of the Muskogee Azalea
Festival is now full swing at Honor Heights
Park in Muskogee.
The appearance of the park is different this
year. A winter ice storm did severe damage
to the trees and shrubs, but park employees
have done a nice job of cleaning things up
and replanting in time to assure a nice
display of color for this year. As of April 12th,
the azaleas were blooming nicely and should
continue to do so through the rest of the
month.
Honor Heights Park is located atop a hill
overlooking the city and features 40 acres of
beautifully landscaped gardens featuring
azaleas, dogwoods, redbuds and a host of
other blooming plants. The highlight of the
park, of course, is its azalea plants. There
are 625 varieties.
Honor Heights Park also features picnic
areas, walking trails, a picturesque lake, and
a new Butterfly Sanctuary. The festival also
features food, carriage rides and more.
The Muskogee Azalea Festival features both
a driving tour that loops through the park and
magnificent azaleas and flowering trees and
walking trails and sidewalks that allow
visitors to get up close and personal with
nature. Be sure to bring your camera,
because it truly is an unbelievable sight.
