THURSDAY, APRIL 2: AZALEA FESTIVAL

Profile America - Thursday, April 2nd. Now that spring is here, people are taking trips to enjoy the natural beauty of some of the nation's premier parks and gardens. More than a half-million of them will come to Muskogee, Oklahoma, this month for the annual Azalea Festival at Honor Heights Park. There, they will find 30,000 azaleas of 625 different varieties, along with redbuds, dogwoods and other blooming plants. Many will take home ideas for their own gardens. Across the U.S., nearly three-quarters of households take part in lawn and garden activities. About a third grow flowers and plan their own landscaping. A fifth have vegetable gardens and more than one-in-10 grow their own herbs. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau online at www.census.gov.
