Kirkland opens the show's Saturday with a morning presentation over a light breakfast, drawn from his book Camellias: Beautiful Varieties for Home and Garden and a lifetime among the South's signature winter bloom: the old varieties, the new ones worth making room for, and how to keep them thriving in home gardens. Come with questions; he will save time for them.

Tickets are $50 and include breakfast and admission to the Show & Sale for the day. Seating is limited, and presentation tickets are sold through the Aiken Center for the Arts.
