AWARDS

We are proud of the work we do around the island and are humbled to be recognized by other garden clubs, civic groups, The Garden Club of North Carolina, The South Atlantic Region of National Garden Clubs, and even by the National Garden Club. We wanted to share some of the awards we've won.

2023 Awards

​New Frog Fountain in HWG – Elise Running
  • NCGC: B-8 (Simpson Art in the Garden Award) – 2nd Place
    • Note:  2nd awarded for 2022 since club cannot win 1st place 2 years in a row. However, HIGC won 1st for 2020, Two Green Thumbs won 1st for 2021, so believe this should have been 1st.
