Dear Friends,

Cape Fear Botanical Garden is Fayetteville's front yard. In addition to showcasing nature's beauty, our Garden serves in many roles: environmental stewardship, education and research, the preservation of our agricultural heritage, a unique setting for activities and events, a prime attraction for visitors from near and far, a valuable economic resource for our community.

The Botanical Garden is about to embark on an expansion project that will make our local Garden a truly world class destination. At the heart of this project is the construction of a Visitors Pavilion Complex. As you read through this website, you'll discover what this wonderful addition will do for Garden visitors, students and our entire community. You will also see why the Visitors Pavilion Complex is urgently needed - and why the time is now.

Cape Fear Botanical Garden is a strongly rooted organization. Building on that solid ground, it is now ready to dig deeper, spread its branches and grow. We have made our personal gifts, and we're asking you to join us in supporting the Campaign for Natural Growth. The Garden is counting on our contributions to plant the seeds that will build the Visitors Pavilion Complex. It's a natural investment.
