Welcome to the North Georgia Camellia Society!
Our Mission
As proud affiliates of the American Camellia Society, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for camellias and inspire their cultivation across the Metro Atlanta Area. We work closely with private gardeners, local garden clubs, and community beautification projects to spread the beauty of these timeless flowers.
Preserving Camellia History
Our passion extends to preserving the rich history of camellias by rediscovering and reintroducing Georgia’s “lost treasures”—rare varieties once developed locally. We focus on reviving these unique plants to create living libraries, showcasing their historical significance for future generations.
Contributing to Local Gardens
Additionally, we encourage public gardens in our region to expand their camellia collections, contributing to both the Georgia Camellia Trail and the American Camellia Trail.
Join us in celebrating and cultivating the beauty and history of camellias. Whether you are a seasoned gardener or new to the world of camellias, there’s a place for you in our society.
