The founding purpose of International Kiwanis Clubs is to serve the needs of children around the world. “ONE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE” is not only a belief, but a practice in providing opportunities to help and care. Kiwanians are passionate about encouraging The Golden Rule and promoting their works
of goodwill with the highest of social and professional standards. Their selfless efforts continue to sustain and strengthen our communities. Your participation reaches much farther than the purchase of a plant. If you haven’t already stopped by, they are set up on the northwest corner of Opelika Road and University Drive, across from the mall.
The local division here in Lee County, covers Auburn, Opelika and Phenix City and surrounding areas. For more info on Kiwanis Club in Lee County, visit here.

Mara, selecting Azaelas and planting them, and viewing them always remind me of the beautiful springtime season and even the Masters golf tournament over at Augusta. What a great place you have in your local area to pick out some beauty and plant in the landscape.
I have always loved azaleas.....my grandmother's house in Hartford (Geneva County) had some of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. I never had as much luck with them as she did.
Mara, It sounds like a wonderful charity...I only wish it were warm enough to plant here!
Gary - Azaleas can bring beauty AND help for children when you buy them from the Kiwanis Club. I like that!
Ann - At least you have a great appreciation for them because of your grandmother...that is a lovely gift she gave you :-)
Carole - Hope it warms up soon for you! thanks for stopping by to smell the roses azaleas :-)
Azaleas! We spent 6 years away from the northwest, in Raleigh. I loved the lovely azalea bushes along my walkway! Actually, I loved the south! Very fond memories of our time there. Enjoyed your comment over on my dogma blog!
Thanks for sharing - great event for a good cause - plus it reminds me that gardening season is just around the corner.
Janna - what wonderful memories you have for azaleas...definitely a longer flowering season in the south!
Ryan - yes, get those green thumbs ready! Thanks for visiting :-)
Thanks for recognizing the work the Kiwanis group has done. As a new member of the Lee county Kiwanis club the flower sale was somewhat of a trial by fire, but in the end I was very glad to be a part of such a good cause and a good group of people. Check out my observations the day after:
