If you missed today’s Coastal Georgia Camellia Society meeting, you missed a real treat. We were honored to have a special guest speaker from Magnolia plantation on the Ashley river in Charleston, South Carolina.

Mr. Jim Martin was our speaker. He is Director of Horticulture and Landscape at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston. He will give an update on current happenings at Magnolia. Mr. Martin has over 35 years of experience in horticultural design, development, and maintenance. He has also been involved in renovations of famous gardens such as Riverbanks Botanical Gardens, Mepkin Abbey, and Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina. The rich history of camellias at Magnolia Gardens, and Mr. Martin's extensive experience at these locations should allow him to give an informative and interesting look at what's going on at Magnolia!

Let me first apologize for the fan and light in the upper left corner of the pictures in the series of photos as that was my point of view.
