How to Find that Special Camellia

 

One of the advantages of being an OCS member is the opportunity to buy unusual camellias that have been propagated by our members. A member often has early access to sales at the Newberg Camellia Festival and other special events. Also, our summer picnic is famous for its camellia auction.
