Camellia Talk & Tour, Pop-Up Sale to Follow
Are you enchanted by old-fashioned camellias, like Eudora Welty? Join us at noon on Thursday, February 19, when Paige Mizell returns for a camellia talk and flash sale. Paige will share historical facts and care tips, and take questions. After the talk, guests will also have the rare opportunity to shop a selection of old-fashioned camellias from her family's Folsom, Louisiana-based nursery until plants are sold. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Eudora Welty Foundation.
