General donations allow the Parks Conservancy to respond to the greatest needs across New Hanover County’s parks. Whether it’s building a playground or trail, protecting natural habitats, supporting educational programs or enhancing visitor experiences, your donation helps ensure these treasured spaces thrive now and for future generations.
Plant an Azalea
The Parks Conservancy partners with the Cape Fear Garden Club to plant azaleas in New Hanover County’s parks through the Plant an Azalea program. For each $15 donation, New Hanover County Parks & Gardens will plant an azalea in a county park or garden. To date, more than 500 azaleas have been planted in our parks!
For each azalea purchased donors receive a Plant an Azalea card, designed by local artist Barbara Bear Jameson, to keep or give to a loved one to honor their donation. Plant an Azalea cards may be purchased in the Airlie Gardens Gift Shop (300 Airlie Rd), the New Hanover County Parks & Gardens Office (896 Airlie Rd) or online by completing the form below.
