Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden
Strolling through the Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden in Nacogdoches is like
walking through a kaleidoscope. Your senses are bombarded by brilliant
hues of purple, orange, yellow, red, pink and white blooms. It's the
largest azalea garden in Texas and it boasts one of the most diverse
collections in the United States (more than 500 varieties). The garden
encompasses eight forested acres along historic Lanana Creek on the
campus of Stephen F. Austin State University. Walking paths weave
through the garden drawing attention for more than 7,500 evergreen and
native azaleas.

Southern
Indica Trail
In addition to being home to the state's biggest and best azalea
garden, Nacogdoches boasts three self-guided driving trails through
beautifully manicured residential gardens. From expansive stream-side
gardens to manicured private districts, Nacogdoches literally springs
to life and color with the onset of azalea season. It's a natural
event among historic treasurers that you will yearn to return to time
and time again.
