The first blush of spring comes in many colors at LSU AgCenter's Hammond Research Station, which makes today a good time to attend the annual camellia garden stroll. One of forty-one public camellia gardens included on the American Camellia Society’s prestigious Camellia Trail, the gardens feature a collection of over five hundred Camellia japonicas and sasanquas planted from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. For camellia lovers, a February visit is something of a tradition. Free admission. 1 pm at 21549 Old Covington Highway (Louisiana Highway 1067) east of Hammond. (985) 543-4125 or lsuagcenter.com/tangipahoa.
