We hope that by following our page you will learn about Camellias and even plant a few of your own! Coastal Carolina Society Meeting Info:
Currently members are meeting on the 3rd Sunday of each month at the James Island Town Hall, 1122 Dills Bluff Rd. Meeting time is 2:30 and notices for meetings will be posted on this page the week of the meeting. Please message us if you have questions about the upcoming meeting. Meetings consist of the care of camellias and include such things as grafting, air layering, pruning, and applying gibberellic acid to obtain earlier and larger camellia blooms. The club is also getting involved in other projects in the community. We are discussing many fun things for members and making plans for the 2024 show and plant sale!
