In collaboration with Curry County Master Gardeners, the city of Brookings is hosting a series of azalea pruning work parties at Azalea Park. Upcoming work dates include Sept. 22 from noon to 4 p.m., and Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Volunteers meet in the lower parking lot off Old County Road. Work parties will be formed and Master Gardeners and city staff will provide educational materials to volunteers and provide basic training in the pruning process. The program is a result of a visit to Azalea Park by azalea expert Dick "Red" Cavender, who evaluated the native azaleas and made recommendations on how to improve their condition. Cavender made a presentation on his findings at a public workshop hosted by the Brookings Parks and Recreation Commission in March. "Our city's historic azaleas are in dire need of human intervention, especially pruning to encourage more prolific and robust growth, and removal of competing vegetation which has invaded their space," said Brookings Azalea Park 2016 and beyond…. Parks and Recreation Commissioner and Oregon Master Gardener Dennis Triglia. "If rejuvenating these azaleas is postponed any longer, I fear that additional azaleas may, tragically, be lost."

    Azalea Path (Blessing Side) Bed Map Winding its’ way around the Slane Center bordering the walkway and continuing behind Blessing Residence Hall, this garden offers a colorful contrast to the neighboring ponds and splashing fountains. A generous donation of 50 Encore® Azaleas from Pender Nursery (Garner, NC) in 2009 was a welcome expansion of the collection. Hues ranging from ruby reds to pinks and purples erupt in spring with rebloom occurring in fall, truly a magnificent sight to behold. In spring of 2012, an additional donation by Flowerwood Nursery in Loxley, AL brought the number of different Encore® Azaleas to 23. Late fall 2013 saw additional renovation and expansion of the garden enlarging the collection to over 85 different types of azaleas. Additional planting of spring and fall blooming perennials, several thousand daffodils donated by Brent & Becky's Bulbs, and assorted flowering trees and shrubs should create a explosion of color in spring and continue with interest into summer and hit another high note in fall.
