North Georgia Camellia Society garden

Grow Something Timeless

The North Georgia Camellia Society is a welcoming community of plant lovers dedicated to growing, preserving, and sharing camellias across Metro Atlanta. We bring together backyard gardeners, history enthusiasts, and neighbors to share knowledge and build lasting connections.

Rediscovering Georgia’s Lost Treasures

Some of the most remarkable camellias ever cultivated were developed right here in Georgia — and then forgotten. We track down these rare local varieties, bring them back into cultivation, and preserve them as living libraries for future generations. About This Bloom →

Rooted in Friendship and Community

Gardening is better together. We partner with private gardeners, local garden clubs, and community projects to fill our region with blooms. More importantly, our regular meetings and garden walks are a place to trade stories, share tips over tea, and enjoy the lifelong camaraderie of fellow plant lovers.

There’s a Spot for You

Whether you are a seasoned grower or just love a beautiful garden, you will find a warm welcome here. Come for the flowers, stay for the friendships.
