About The Southeastern Camellia Society Inc |
During the early part of the 19th century, camellias were one of the
most prominent plants in the southern garden. Somewhere along this
journey, Camellias lost their place in our gardens and landscapes and
were very quickly replaced by other shrubs and trees with much less to
offer. Their graceful southern charm has been overlooked time and time
again because of our quest to find something "better". In fact,
there are few plants that are "better" or offer the many diversified
characteristics that the Camellia has to offer.The Southeastern
Camellia Society, Inc was formed in 1999 with a vision that camellias
would once again be a large part of our gardens and landscapes.
Through education and information provided to gardeners and by
encouraging planting of camellias in public and private gardens, we feel
that we are well on our way to once again bring the camellia back to the
forefront of our gardens.
Membership in this society will not only provide you with valuable
information on growing camellias, but will allow you to be a part of the
Camellia Renaissance that is sweeping through our gardens across the
country.
