Calling all camellia lovers! The Pebble Hill Camellia Workshop with Wiregrass Camellia Society is a fun and informative event for anyone interested in learning more about growing, propagating, and preserving camellias, one of the South's most beautiful blooming shrubs. Bring your camellia blossoms and have them identified by experts and learn how to preserve your blooms in wax. Camellia plants will be for sale. Visit pebblehill.com for more details, which will be posted soon. Pebble Hill is home to more than 100 camellia shrubs.

In honor of Black History Month, Pebble Hill Plantation Curator, Lori Curtis, will present a tour through the Workers’ Cemetery.
The Workers’ Cemetery or “Staff” Cemetery is the resting place for many individuals and families who lived and worked at Pebble Hill for generations.
In 2013, Pebble Hill reached out to Thomas University in Thomasville, GA to document the site and to map the graves using GIS and GPS technology. That project identified 94 named graves and about 100 marked graves without names. The oldest marked and named grave dates to 1896. This project was updated in 2021 again with the help of Thomas University’s GAPP (Geospatial Analysis Planning & Preservation) Center.
The tour and presentation will include information regarding the documentation of the site and will highlight a few individuals who are distinguished in Pebble Hill’s history under the ownership of the Hanna family from 1896-1978.
Tickets are $10.00 and space is limited. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are available at https://pebble-hill-plantation.ticketleap.com/

The TCC Fine Art Gallery will be host an opening reception for "Florida Landscapes" by John Gleason on Thursday, January 11, from 5 until 7:30 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. The show will run through February 15.

“Florida Landscapes” features oil and acrylic paintings that boast landscapes from the Red Hills region to Florida’s forgotten coast. This exhibition depicts life in our local slice of the south — a timeless yet ever-evolving region. During the opening reception, Gleason will use his love of cooking to create Florida-inspired flavors to accompany the art pieces featured in the exhibit.

Join Apalachee Audubon as we learn from Jody Walthall how to convert a traditional landscape to one that has ecological function, using primarily native plants. Maintenance considerations will also be discussed.

Jody Walthall co-founded Native Nurseries in Tallahassee in 1980. He and his wife, Donna Legare, combined their passions for native plants, nature study, planting for wildlife and organic gardening to model their store after a nature center rather than a traditional garden center.

Social with coffee and snacks at 6:30 PM
Announcements at 7:00 PM
Program at 7:15 PM

Join the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library in a system-wide celebration of Women’s History Month! Throughout the month of March, select branch locations will host works from local artists with various interpretations of this annual observance.

At the Bruce J. Host Northeast Branch Library, artist Kim Campbell will showcase a collection of her oceanic fused glass pieces honoring Women in Art.

Artist biography: Born in Memphis, TN, Kim found her love for art in the 5th grade; her classmates were always asking her to draw for them. She concentrated on portraits at first, with acrylics and pastels as her two mediums of choice. After getting her B.S. degree in Studio Art from Florida State, she became a graphic designer and started her own business, Graphic Visions, in 1993. She took more art classes at FSU after graduating, including painting, mosaics, and ceramics. At a teacher’s suggestion, she took a glass fusing class. Two years later, she was teaching that class and bought her own kiln. Today, Kim teaches fused glass classes in her hometown and participates in art shows all over Florida.

“I love the serenity of the ocean and the creatures living there. They are fascinating and are a work of art in themselves. I’ve been working with fused-glass for over a decade, and I’m still learning new techniques and applications with this form of art. I work with frit for texture, powders for formations, enamels for painting and backgrounds, and sometimes polymer clay for an added bonus creature. I like to experiment with the powders to create abstract coral you might see underwater. I rarely create two of the same scene, thus my art is changing all the time. I never get bored. Art has always been a part of who I am and my ‘happy place.’”
