You can see the Azalea Trail at Callaway Gardens for free because the resort is waiving its admission fees until March.

Gardens spokeswoman Rachel Crumbley said the move is to give visitors a little extra padding in their pocketbooks as the nation’s economic slumps worsens.

Callaway Gardens opened in 1952 as a five-mile scenic drive. Today it is a sprawling resort with a golf course, rental cottages, miles of walking trails and acres of lush gardens.
