Middleton Place

Camellia Workshop

Sidney Frazier, Vice President of Horticulture, has dedicated 50 years to overseeing the care of America’s Oldest Landscaped Gardens. This is the time of year when camellias take center stage, providing vibrant color in the cold winter months. The camellias at Middleton Place are special because they are some of the oldest in America, first planted on Henry Middleton’s parterre in the late 18th century.

Sidney Frazier, dubbed “The King of Camellia”, will lead this lively workshop on the camellia plant, from its origins in Asia to its various forms of care. Sidney will offer expert advice in planting, watering, pruning, fertilizing, propagating, and disease identification and eradication. Following the talk, join Sidney Frazier and Nursery Manager, Kim Pruitt, for mimosas and light snacks while they answer your questions.
