Cape Fear Botanical Garden’s (CFBG) theme for the fiscal year, “Harmony in Nature,” will focus programs on connecting nature, art, history and community. This theme will guide and enhance key events such as Halloween at the BOO-tanical Garden, Holiday Lights, Dog Day and Pondamania, while launching new initiatives and enhancing cultural tourism.

“Cape Fear Botanical Garden connects guests with art and nature, making each more enjoyable and accessible. The Garden offers community programs including cultural art performances, live music, environmental education, nature walks, camps and therapeutic horticulture classes,” said CFBG CEO Chris Hoffman in a press release. 

Programs for children and families encourage intergenerational learning and can spark interest in school-age children while supporting goals for science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM).

Programs for adults engage them in lifelong learning and enrichment. C.O.R.E. Grants provide general operating support to 501(c)3 organizations with an arts-, culture- and or history-focused mission whose community services uphold the Arts Council’s mission to embrace diversity, promote individual creativity, advance economic development, foster lifelong learning through the arts and connect the community.
