Any flowers in bloom now? Forsythe Garden of Fragrance?

Question

One day trip to Savannah next Thursday and debating whether to visit the Garden of Fragrance. Is anything in bloom there yet? When do azaleas bloom in the Savannah area?

Answer

Forsyth Park's Garden of Fragrance is a beautiful and peaceful spot in Savannah, known for its aromatic plants and sensory experience. However, depending on the time of year, the blooming flowers can vary.

In mid-November, the azaleas are generally not in bloom yet. Azaleas typically bloom in Savannah from late March to early April, reaching their peak around the first few weeks of April, especially during the Savannah Historic District's famous "Azalea Festival." So, for your trip next Thursday (in mid-November), you may not see azaleas in full bloom, but you will still be able to enjoy the lush greenery and possibly some other seasonal flowers.

As for the Garden of Fragrance, it is a great spot year-round for those interested in sensory experiences, even when certain flowers aren't in bloom. However, in November, some plants may still be in bloom, such as:

Camellias: These are often in bloom from late fall through winter and are a nice addition to the garden.
Chrysanthemums: These fall-blooming flowers are often seen around the garden at this time of year.
Sweet Olive Trees: Known for their fragrant blooms, they tend to flower throughout the fall and winter months.

If you’re hoping for a floral extravaganza with azaleas, it would be best to visit in the spring, but for now, the garden still offers a sensory experience with its fragrant plants. Additionally, Forsyth Park itself, including the iconic fountain, is worth a stroll even when the azaleas aren't blooming!
