Pink Ribbon Tree (October)

Each year, we write the names on pink ribbons
of those community members and family members who have fought breast cancer.
We invite you into the garden anytime to reflect, rejoice and remember.

T​ree Planting. Feb. 6, 2020 10a

Members of HIGC came out in soggy weather to watch the trees being planted.
Thanks to a generous donation from The Alliance for Cape Fear Trees (ACFT), our club planted two Live Oak Trees in Harbor Way Garden. Live Oaks are native to Wrightsville Beach and we are thrilled to have two new trees to shade our garden for decades to come.
