The garden boast 450 cultivars of camellias, many found no where else but in this garden. Originally planted in the 1940's and 50's by Hody Wilson; the garden now bears his name.
The ground, a little soggy still, wasn't much bother as the garden was decked out in dewy drops like jewels. Most of the crowds stayed away. It almost was our own private garden, with the exception of many very busy bees.
The garden was rescued in the late 90's and is now cared for by the Parish's Master Gardener program. They were on hand to answer questions and host a really nice Camellia sale.
