About the event
All you ever wanted to know about camellias— and then some! Join a member of our Grelen plant team for a relaxed yet in-depth walk-and-talk focused on these beautiful flowering evergreen shrubs.
We’ll explore the different species of camellias, discuss ideal growing conditions, and cover the essential dos and don’ts of planting and caring for them. From proper placement and soil preferences to pruning and long-term maintenance, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to help these classic bloomers thrive in your landscape.
The class will be led by Darren March, Grelen’s Plant Manager and resident expert. Darren will share practical tips, professional insight, and real-life examples, with plenty of time reserved for questions and discussion. As a special bonus, participants will receive 10% off Camellias on the day of the event. This event is free, but we kindly ask that you RSVP so we know you’re coming. Walk-ins are welcome on…
