S. and one of the largest with approximately 300 members. The Camellia Club is proud to maintain the UWF Camellia Garden and shares responsibility with UWF Retired Employees Association and the University. Improvements, valued at $70,000, at the UWF Camellia Garden were dedicated on Valentine’s Day. These improvements included construction of a border around the gardens, installation of walkways and benches within the gardens and lighting within and at the borders of the gardens.
The PCC also provides a local service of free advice regarding camellia care, including house-calls if problems necessitate. For membership and additional information see www.pensacolacamelliaclub.com or call Norman Vickers, PCC Publicity chair, at 850-484-9183.
