CAMELLIA WAXING

Ladies from the Camellia garden club, share their secrets and techniques each December at Dorothy Oven Park.  They furnish the camellias, pans, wax, and are quite patient in instructing you how to wax a camellia.  It is a time honored tradition, dating back into the Victorian Era.  Back then, ladies plucked the prettiest camellias, and waxed them, thus preserving them.  Platters, bowls were placed about the home with the preserved camellias within.  It pre-dates our current Tele-Florist!!!  Watch for the exact date, or you can contact the park for up to date information.
