One of the world's finest collections of camellias fills a nine-acre area at Massee Lane. Brick walkways surround the camellia trees for easy viewing. The Abendroth Japanese Garden, the Scheibert Rose Garden, and beautiful plantings of daffodils, daylilies, chrysanthemums, azaleas, flowering trees, annuals and perennials add to the year-round beauty. Massee Lane had its beginnings as the private garden of David C. Strother in the 1930's. Mr. Strother donated this land to the American Camellia Society for its headquarters in 1966. The T.J. Smith Memorial Greenhouse was built to house the present collection of some 200 camellia plants grown under glass in an attractive landscaped setting. The Stevens-Taylor Gallery and the Annabelle Lundy Fetterman Educational Museum showcase the porcelain collection. The visitor center is located in the Fetterman building and has a repeating slide show informing visitors about camellias and the development of the Gardens.
