Camellia Society President, Julie Vierra, and Vice President, LuAnn Lantsberger, were amazing speakers. They brought two 1-gallon camellias for members; had a beautiful PowerPoint presentation of Camellias in the Sacramento and San Joaquin region; labeled members' camellias with metal tags with their varietal name so they could label their shrubs at home; and Julie demonstrated pruning techniques. Camellias should be pruned after blooming and can take substantial pruning. Handouts covered all areas of care; "12 Months of Care"; caring for your new camellia; and copies of February and March's Camellia Times newsletter, full of information and local happenings.
