The Tidewater Camellia Club is a local society.
We are affiliated with the American Camellia Society. 

The purpose of our Club
is to enhance the beauty of our community
by promoting an interest
in the cultivation, growth and displaying of camellias.
We accomplish this through a variety of efforts,
including joint ventures and projects
with other horticultural groups,
local schools, and community agencies,
and offering learning opportunities
and scholarships to local students.
Our members are encouraged through their leadership and example
to help educate the community
in the area of their individual expertise and knowledge.

We generally meet the third Tuesday of each month
at 6:30 to 8:00 pm from September through May
with a picnic in July.

Each meeting has ample social time
as well as interesting presentations related to camellias
and other relevant gardening topics.

We often meet at the New Hanover County Arboretum,
but also various other interesting local venues
such as Burgwin-Wright Museum.
