Add Wow Factor to your garden! Lessons from Las Vegas's Bellagio Hotel and Casino
Adding wow factor to your garden is easy if you take a few tips from the Conservatory at Bellagio Hotel and Casino. Massing
plants, using single colors, and strong focal points all come together in the ever-changing display which is as much an attraction
as the spectacular shows, gaming, dining and fountains at Bellagio.
Siegfreid and Roy's Royal White Tigers helped introduce this segment at the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage Hotel
and Casino,

Rediscover a Southern favorite: Camellias at Massee Lane Gardens
Massee Lane Gardens in Fort Valley, Georgia is home to the largest collection of camellias in the country and headquarters for
the American Camellia Society. Planted on the spacious grounds of a Southern plantation, the gardens stretch out in formal lines
under tall pines with azaleas and many other plants as companions.
The Georgian style visitor center includes a gift shop, auditorium and large reception room available for private events and gracious
weddings. The visitor center is also home to a spectacular porcelain figure collection considered one of the finest in America and a
tourist attraction in it's own right.
The Camellia Festival in February and March attracts thousands over a 4 week period.
