Celebrating our Colonial Roots

This year’s theme, Celebrating Our Colonial Roots, honors Brunswick County’s rich history through the plants that shaped early life along the Cape Fear River. Shoppers will find herbs, flowers, vines, shrubs, and small trees that thrive in our coastal climate—many native species familiar to our Colonial ancestors and vital to today’s pollinators.

We’ll also feature plants brought from Europe by early settlers and selections that recognize the gardening traditions of the Gullah Geechee people, whose knowledge and culture deeply influenced Southern horticulture.

Join us in celebrating the plants, people, and stories that continue to grow in our coastal gardens!
