Planting Fields hosts an annual Camellia Festival in the stunning Camellia House to celebrate the seasonal beauty of the historic camellia collection. Largely the vision of the Olmsted Brothers in 1918 to serve as a show palace for the Coe family’s prized Camellia collection, the Camellia House is typically in full bloom mid-February to early March.
The Camellia Festival will take place on Feb. 8 & 9 in 2025. Learn more and register here!
