Camellia Garden Endowment

The UWF Camellia Garden has been a labor of love shared by the University, UWF Retired Employees Association, and Pensacola Camellia Club.


Originally established in commemoration of UWF’s 40th anniversary, the Camellia Garden underwent significant enhancements in 2017 as part of UWF’s 50th anniversary celebration. In February 2020, an anonymous donor made a $25,000 gift to establish an endowment. Our goal is to match that gift. Our endowment would ultimately be $50,000, which would provide maintenance for the garden in perpetuity. To support the Camellia Garden and leave a legacy on the University of West Florida campus, garden supporters can now purchase a named paver.
