Heritage Gardens Are Integral to Savannah's Culture Identity

Languish or sportive, a leisured Savannah travel destination deserves a little oasis of tranquility. Perhaps for no other city in the world are garden parks so integral to its cultural identity. For the Savannah travel destination city, the garden squares have become Savannah's image in the minds of millions throughout the world. [-]

Certainly, private and public gardens abundantly decorate Savannah as a top destination port city … recapturing colonial Savannah's ante-and post-bellum grandeur. For travel reservations or a road trip destination travel to Savannah, the heritage gardens of Azalea Inn and Savannah courtyard gardens and pool offer a refreshing escape.

In spite of indigenous wild azaleas, magnolias, spruce pines, and ancient live oaks, the well-planned city planted formal boulevards lined with Chinaberry tree medians, and live oak lined streets, canopied with Spanish moss. Since the 1980s, the City has sought to achieve a resort quality appearance in the Squares and especially through the National Historic Landmark District -- to make the public realm the equal of the private gardens.

For your Savannah vacation, should you wish to arrive "in the moment" of a Savannah garden, consider Miss Harty's comment to John Berendt in Midnight in The Garden of Good and Evil, when speaking of Historic Savannah's 18th and 19th century public garden squares, "…the thing I like best about the squares is that cars can't cut through the middle; they must go around them. So, traffic is obliged to flow at a very leisurely pace. The squares are our little oases of tranquility."

“If we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.” – Jimmy Carter, 39 th President of the
United States, Humanitarian

Wanting something a little out of the ordinary?

The inn will help you plan a custom trip just for you or your group ranging from a day paddle on one of our many rivers to an expedition down the Georgia coast … a 10.2-Mile architectural biking tour through Savannah for a biking ride through the Savannah historic district. The McQueen’s Island Historic Trail, about halfway between Savannah and Tybee Island, off U.S. Highway 80, is easy pedaling on an old railroad bed. From Savannah, drive 9 miles on Highway 80. Cross the Bull River, go about one-third of a mile, and look for the McQueen’s Island parking area on the left and taken in Ft. Pulaski while enjoying in the Atlantic Ocean salt air. [-]

Roam out to the Skidaway Island Institute of Oceanography ; discover Savannah's natural history or bird watching adventures. The region is a superb bird-watching spot because of the water. Georgia.org beckons, “… explore beyond the city streets and roam the spectacular lands of Georgia's pristine barrier islands, quiet swamps, unspoiled beaches and marshes – all thriving with wildlife.” Beginning in April, Sand Gnats Minor League Baseball is played at Grayson Stadium in Daffin Park, where walking and jogging paths, softball fields and tennis courts are enjoyed.

Garden Tip of the Day from Innkeeper
Micheal Jacobson
"Consider Swiss chard for winter and spring color. It adds height and surprising starkness of color, a real conversation piece when used in a potted entrance garden to greet arriving guests."
