So at around this time of the year, folks start asking ‘when are you going to be open to the public again – we want some camellias?’
Whereas we are open by arrangement at other times, here are the dates that we are scheduling to be available to the public. The garden will be open for folk to wander, and we will do our best to have all the camellias in the garden labeled. We have about 400 camellias in the garden and the sasanquas have started to flower already and will continue for a few months to about June, and by then the japonicas and hybrids will be flowering as well. These continue until about September by which time the weather has warmed up so that the camellia flowers start to suffer in the heat. The reticulatas are always the last to flower. And then there are plants available for purchase – to add to your garden. This season we have about 150 different varieties. Most of our camellias are in 140mm pots only with a few 200mm pot sizes.
We will be open 8.00am to 3.00pm on these days. The schedule is open to change as circumstances dictate. So here is the plan.
