Projects

Camellias are blooming up and down the the streets in Brookhaven.  Downtown Brookhaven Planters are now filled with Sasanquas, replacing the overgrown Bradford Pears and Holly trees.  This project was completed in 2005 and are really a sight to behold from November to January each year.

A project completed:  The Thomas Perkins Memorial Camellia Garden at the Lincoln County Library is growing very well. It has a nice collection of camellias from China that Thomas introduced to America.  Also a very nice Thomas Perkins and Boozie B have their place of distinction in the Garden.   Please stop by for a visit.  There are some updated pictures of how the garden has grown on the Lincoln County Master Gardner Homepage.  Go to the links to get there.
