Pebble Hill Plantation Uno Hill Barn
Camellias were first introduced to the United States near Charleston, South Carolina in 1786. They are now a beloved part of the Southern landscape, adding beautiful dark green foliage and stunning blooms in many shades of pink, red, and white and even variegated varieties. Camellias are also the plant that gives us tea.
Pebble Hill boasts of more than 100 camellia plants and is an official stop on the American Camellia Trail. Your workshop ticket purchase includes admission to our 73-acre Main Grounds, so that you may take a stroll to enjoy the beauty and history of Pebble Hill. Consider bringing a picnic lunch. You may tour the Main House for an additional $10. Simply stop by our Visitors' Center.
To celebrate these wonderful plants, Pebble Hill Plantation is partnering with Wiregrass Camellia Society to host a fun and informative Camellia Workshop on Saturday, January 18, 2025 from 10 AM – 12 PM at the Pebble Hill Plantation Uno Hill Barn.

Camellia Exhibition – Wiregrass Camellia Society members will bring camellia blooms to share and help with plant identification.
