Camellia Points of Interest
Sacramento, California Area

Meredith Green-2727 Camellia Grove - Sacramento, California
Sacramento has a long-running attachment to the camellia flower, and since early statehood this flower has been a trademark of the city. In fact, the discovery of gold in Coloma in 1848 was indirectly responsible for the camellia arriving in northern California. After their introduction to California in the mid-nineteenth century, landscaping with camellias became a Sacramento tradition. The Camellia Grove pays tribute to the pioneers who shaped the state. Camellias, like the pioneers they honor, are not native to California. Originally from Southeast Asia, they made their debut in Sacramento during the Gold Rush. James Lloyd Lafayette Franklin Warren, a local seed store owner, brought the first seeds from Boston in 1852. Little did he know that Sacramento would become the “Camellia City of the World” ─ a title bestowed upon it in the 1920s.
