Azalea
Garden
Tour Grants
For over 50 years, the Azalea Garden Tour, sponsored
by Cape Fear Garden Club, has proudly returned thousands of dollars to New
Hanover
County. Tour profits benefit local
community organizations through beautification and horticulture grants. In
addition, funds support scholarships at UNCW and
Cape
Fear
Community College
and finance conservation efforts at
Battery
Island, a National Audubon Society sanctuary and the largest nesting site in
North America
for ibis, egrets and herons. Other
special projects supported by the tour include garden therapy, youth gardener
projects, and horticultural programs.
