The festival program included the following:
  • Table after table of displays of individual Camellia blooms.
  • Camellia tablescapes with themes from elegant to whimsical.
  • Camellias in art included camellia prints by Lila Moore Keen, Lilleroy & Boch camellia plates, camellia painting by local artists, camellia photos and the art of waxing camellias where one could wax a camellia for preservation.
  • Media displays on Semmes Nursery History.
  • Guest speaker- Maarten Van der Glessen “History of the Camellia Nurseries in Semmes. “
  • Open House at Semmes Heritage Park.
Refreshments were provided by the Semmes Woman’s Club.
