America turns 250 this month, and the Lowcountry is right in the middle of the story. Inside this issue:

🏛️ Heritage & Innovation: the stories Summerville's old buildings hold, and a look inside Bonaire Park Summerville, the new development rising a block from Town Hall.
📅 Your July events roundup — the Fourth on the waterfront, SC250 programming, and everything worth marking down in and around Summerville.

Summer in the Lowcountry has always been the slow season. The one that invites you to look closer, stay longer, and remember what's been here all along. This year, we're looking back and celebrating 250 years of history.
Inside, we travel the Hammock Coast from Georgetown to Pawleys Island, tracing 250 years of Lowcountry history through the plantations, ports, and barrier islands that shaped it. We sit down with Nat Bradford, the eighth-generation farmer bringing a nearly extinct heirloom watermelon back from the edge — and discovering what the modern food system traded away along the way. And we follow an architect and a publisher as they embark on cataloging nearly 700 of Summerville's historic buildings, uncovering stories that have been hiding in plain sight.
Plus: Chef Noah Coleman's soul food homecoming on Central Avenue, a family-run fishing charter built on tide and tradition, the 250th anniversary exhibit at Middleton Place, summer page-turners you'll want to pack for the beach or the pool, the humble art of the seafood boil, and more.
You won't want to miss this commemorative edition! Hitting locations throughout the Lowcountry this week.

Happy Mother's Day, y'all. 🌸

To the mamas, the grandmamas, the bonus mamas, and the women who mothered us when we needed it most — today is for you. Thank you for the porch lessons, the Sunday suppers, and the kind of love that just keeps showing up.

If you missed our May AZALEA Insider, we put together a little love letter to the mamas of the Lowcountry — where to take her, what to make her, and why the slow Sunday is the gift she really wants. New to Insider? Stay connected here --> https://theazalea.com/subscribe/

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at AZALEA. 💛
