Update as of 5/13/22 @ 12:15 PM-Please note We are planning the majority of Gardenmania’s events inside tomorrow and will move events outside in the case of no rain.

Join us for the annual event that will feature presentations on gardening topics of interest to all levels of gardeners. Cape Fear Valley Health System presents our Keynote Speaker, Bryce Lane, former host of the Emmy-winning UNC-TV public television show “In the Garden With Bryce Lane.” He will be planting a container garden during his talk.
