The Wrightsville Beach Beautification Program
In 2008 along with the Wrightsville Beach Merchants Association and the Town of Wrightsville Beach, we began the Wrightsville Beach Beautification Project. This is a long range master plan to update and revitalize the downtown business area of our beach including the reworking of our sidewalks, new flower beds, trees, plants, benches, outdoor seating areas, moving of existing power and phone lines, lamp post lighting and signage.
The Brick Program
Harbor Way Garden, a 36,400 square foot public garden at the gateway of Wrightsville Beach, continues to be one of our main projects. A stroll in the garden offers butterfly benches, a children’s playhouse with miniature seating, hopscotch and a swing, memorial benches and trees, a variety of coastal plantings and our brick pathway.
Club History
The Harbor Island Garden Club was organized in 1952 for women who lived on Harbor Island, which was not a part of Wrightsville Beach at the time. Later, in the sixties, when Wrightsville Beach annexed Harbor Island, the club opened up its membership to include women living on the beach.
