About the Middle Georgia Camellia Society

The Middle Georgia Camellia Society is a non-profit, education organization, chartered on January 10, 1948, primarily to stimulate and promote interest in the camellia.

Our purpose is to:

Bring together in friendship and fellowship camellia growers and those interested in camellias in Middle Georgia.
Assist local growers through discussions and dissemination of information on the general culture of camellias.

MGCS host two camellia shows and a camellia workshop each year.

The first camellia show is held during the month of October and is sponsored by the Georgia National Fair, Perry, GA.
The workshop is held at Massee Lane Gardens on January 25th, 2024, with Registration starting at 9 a.m. Workshop fee is $25. .
Our 2nd flower show is held in February as part of the “Festival of Camellias” at Massee Lane Gardens in Fort Valley, GA. This show is held on the third Saturday of February and is sponsored by Flint Energies.
