Distinctive bed and breakfast lodging for the April NOGS Tour of Hidden Gardens of Savannah Georgia is best savored at Azalea Inn and Gardens, also a select property on this year’s tour. We were honored with the invitation to be a part of the Garden Club of Savannah’s annual fund-raising event, and Jake, of course, was ecstatic! Despite the heavy freezes (and subsequent loss of vegetation) we have experienced this year, he barely blinked as he assured me that we would be ready by the scheduled dates, April 29 and 30, 2011. True to his meticulous nature, Jake has begun working on a map of the grounds marking the locations of the different flora and fauna so we can have identifying signs throughout making the tour of our gardens even more enlightening.

Azalea Inn and Gardens Honors Military Veterans at Savannah GA bed and breakfast

Veterans Day at Azalea Inn and Gardens
How do we begin to tell you how it felt as we took phone call after phone call, email after email, when we first joined the B&B for Vets project which aspired to have inns across American give just one room on one night to Veterans, active and retired, on the eve of the Veterans’ Day holiday? The concept, the absolute rightness of us inspired us to be a bigger part of the whole, and so true to ourselves, we gave away every room in our inn to this endeavor. Our waiting list grew, and grew. A few other inns in Savannah joined us, and soon we got the courage to ask restaurants in our downtown historic community to join us in preparing a thank you reception for our now 30 veterans and their significant other. The response was, well, simply heartwarming. The gratitude of this cross section of America’s warriors humbled us.
