AUGUSTA - The Garden City will be in full bloom when the crowds descend on Augusta next week for the 66th Masters Tournament. <br>
<br>
Work crews from the city's Trees and Landscape Department have been planting grass and azaleas to get ready for the major golf tournament. <br>
<br>
And volunteers for Metro Augusta Clean and Beautiful have been picking up litter along the city's streets and highways. <br>
<br>
With the Federal Aviation Administration's permission, Augusta Regional Airport is offering expanded parking and curbside access. <br>
<br>
Security guards set up a checkpoint yesterday and began searching all vehicles as part of a plan to handle Masters Week traffic. <br>
<br>
Cars can stop -- but still not park -- along the length of the terminal's curb. <br>
<br>
The airport has temporarily hired 24 private security guards and will spend as much as 37-thousand dollars, 500 to conduct the vehicle searches until April 17th. <br>
