| Someone told me last year that this was a good nursery for camellias. I'm going to the beach in late Oct. and I hope to stop by and see what is available. Has anyone been recently? Also, how do I get there? I will be driving south on I-65. |

I have not been to this nursery, but from their website, they seem to have a good selection. I plan on going there around October, so please let me know your opinions. I am particularly interested in purchasing a Sawada's Mahogany camellia from them (for a picture of this camellia, check out the wintergarden at www.greennurseries.com).
Good luck and happy camellia hunting! |

| Hey thanks! I didn't know they had a web site - can you give me the URL? |
RE: Hannah's Nursery in B'ham

| Yeah, their website is www.hannagardenshop.com. If there's a particular camellia you're looking for, you might want to call and verify they have it in stock. But, part of the fun is in the hunt! |

| Also, here's the link to the Green Nurseries site (it's a wholesale outfit) but it has wonderful camellia pictures, including pictures of some of the camellias for sale at Hanna's. |

| Several nurseries in the area sell Camellias from Green Nursery, including Hannah's, the Plant Odyssey, and Petals from the Past. Maybe others as well. They are constant temptations! |

| Hey LoraxDave, do you know if Green Nurseries sells to the public (if you pay a visit to their nursery). As an aside, I hope that Hurricane Ivan didn't destroy their camellia gardens. My fingers are crossed. |

| Hi glantern, I am not sure about Green Nurseries. I have never been there in person. I also hope their nursery came out okay following the storm. If it's in Mobile County, probably fared okay. Maybe not if in Baldwin County. |

| I was there last year and they have a gift shop and some camellias that the public can buy (but the selection is not that great). The girl who was working there told me that I could call ahead of time and they could get me a specific variety from their greenhouse (which was located elsewhere) and have it there for me when I arrived. Even though I didn't get to purchase any camellias, I enjoyed strolling through their display gardens. Most of the camellias there were huge and it was nice getting an idea of how they would eventually grow in the landscape. |
