A FAMILY GROVE IN THE HEART OF FLORIDA

WELCOME TO

Camellia Groves

Camellia Groves takes its name from the more than 100 hybrid camellia bushes once planted on the property. Rooted in Central Florida history and family tradition, our grove is a place where old Florida charm, fresh citrus, and simple outdoor experiences come together.

At Camellia Groves, it’s about more than just lemons. It’s about slowing down, spending time outdoors, and creating simple, meaningful moments with family and friends. From our home to yours, we hope you feel the warmth, history, and heart behind everything we grow. Learn More about our story.

Plan Your Perfect Day at the Grove

Whether you’re coming for U-Pick, a weekend event, or just a relaxing day outdoors, there’s something here for everyone. From fresh lemons to local vendors and open-air space to unwind, we’ve got everything you need to make the most of your time at the grove.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who attended, donated, participated and collaborated in our 2025 Camellia Groves Limoncello Festival and UPick.
We tripled our donation this year, raising $2,529 for the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge at Moffitt Cancer Center!
A special shout out to the Limoncello contestants who made and donated limoncello for the tasting and also donated all proceeds to the cause!! Thank you so much!
Also, to Alan and Laurent Frankenberg who won the Limoncello contest with their delicious honey 🍯 limoncello and donated their $500 prize money back to Moffitt!
Everyone, mark your calendars NOW for Sunday, December 6, 2026, for our Second Annual Camellia Groves Limoncello Festival and UPick!

Forgive the long overdue post to all of you who were concerned about Camellia Groves during the recent freeze. Joe and I are so happy to share with you that our lemon Grove came through the cold weather in amazingly good shape. The lemon cultivar we chose to grow is called Harvey, and it is known for its seedlessness and for being cold hardy. It surely lived up to that because we had 24° here for two nights and only lost a few top branches on the young trees.(when a tree is damaged from cold weather, it is better to have the leaves fall off than to stay on the stem. Leaves that hold onto the stem indicate that the stem itself has died; leaves that fall off are senescing in order to push out new flush.)
We ran micro jets for two days and banked the baby trees. We think it paid off. Now in our off-season, we are busy getting ready for June when we will once again host the next Local Harvest U-pick and Neighborhood Market. Check our website for 2026 dates and mark your calendars. We can’t wait to see you then. (and save December 6 for our Second Annual Limoncello Festival!!)🍋🍋🍋
