Azalea Magazine

The azaleas are peaking. The farmers markets are opening. Spring is in the air and the April edition of AZALEA Insider is out! It's full of everything that makes this season worth savoring: a guide to the best regional farmers markets, a Lowcountry Easter basket guide, and a Crab Quiche recipe from the 'Pon Top Edisto cookbook that might just become your new brunch fav.

Made with love for the Lowcountry.

Our Spring Double Issue has arrived — and we couldn't be more proud of this one. 🌸

Gracing our cover are Gray Benko and Chelcie Eastman of Magnolia Network's Anything But Gray. We sat with them on the now-famous pink sofa and talked about color, character, and why the boldest thing you can do at home might just be to be authentically yourself. It's inside.

And what a weekend to celebrate the character of home. AZALEA was honored to serve as the exclusive publication partner of Summerville's inaugural Historic Homes & Gardens Tour — five breathtaking private homes, century-old architecture, and stories in every room.

This issue is our love letter to the Lowcountry — to its history, its homes, and the remarkable people who make it unlike anywhere else.

Pick up your complimentary copy at select locations in Summerville, Charleston and throughout the surrounding area or subscribe and have it delivered directly to your door.

To Gray and Chelcie, to everyone who opened their doors, and to every person who walked the tour this weekend — thank you!
