Festival of Camellias

Massee Lane Gardens celebrates the 2025 Festival of Camellias and the 80th Anniversary of the American Camellia Society for the entire month of February 2025. Although camellias bloom from late fall through early spring, February is the peak of the camellia blooming season. Visitors can stroll pathways through nine acres of specialty gardens full of blooming heirloom, modern, and species camellia plants. We have new picnic tables, too. Feel free to pack a lunch and enjoy the scenery.
