The marker reads:
Callaway Gardens was founded in 1952, by Cason Callaway SR. and his wife Virginia Callaway, for the purpose of preserving the native flora of the southern United States in a natural setting for the public to enjoy. At one time this area was marginal farm land, depleted of its natural beauty and vegetation by overuse. The Callaways rebuilt this land into 2500 acres of trees, shrubs and flowering plants.
