There aren’t many people I’d be planting for during a heat advisory, but Miss Lillian is definitely one of them. Her mother-in-law started the Cape Fear Garden Club and the Azalea Festival many years ago, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape our community today. After years of tending her gardens herself, Miss Lillian reached out after seeing our work while dining at Brent’s Bistro. We refreshed the containers and garden beds at her beach house and created a new herb garden for her to enjoy all summer long.
