The Historic Savannah Camellia Project

The Historic Savannah Camellia Project

Groups of excited students from schools across Chatham County converged at Lake Mayer Park in September, 2023. Some wore gloves, ready for the fun that awaited. They walked along the bike path in boisterously noisy lines, passing freshly planted Camellias as they walked. When they arrived at their destination, dermatologist Dr. Sidney Smith, the master gardener who organized the planting event through the Cohen’s Retreat Foundation, awaited with a big smile and a shovel, eager to teach them how to plant their very own camellia.
