Guest: Campbell Vaughn, an agent for the Richmond County (Georgia) Extension Office.
Description: Campbell Vaughn, a native Augustan who has had a lifelong infatuation with the Garden City’s trees and flowers, joins host Ward Clayton to talk about Augusta National Golf Club's grounds. Vaughn is frequently asked how are the flowers in Augusta this time of year. He has easy answer and why.
Talking Points:
▪️ Azalea's are everywhere on the Augusta National Golf Club property and made up of many varieties. And no, the legend of icing the azaleas is not accurate.
▪️ Magnolias are the first trees a visitor sees when going down Magnolia Lane.
▪️ The sprawling live oak on the back lawn at Augusta National is approximately 175 years old and is the state tree of Georgia, according to Campbell Vaughn.
▪️ Vaughn suggests a ride around Augusta as flowers are plentiful all over town, not just on property at Augusta National.
