Outer Space Garden Designs is doing an amazing job installing our Cape Fear Garden Club, Inc. grant funded education garden. We are so excited to be working with Curt and his team to maintain our outdoor spaces going forward. CFGC’s Azalea Garden Tour grant distributed nearly $70,000 in grants to local nonprofits last year and we are so grateful for their support for our outside spaces and so many amazing organizations in our community.

Thank you to and for such a great visit this week! It was our pleasure to host students from the Career and Leadership Development Academy program. The students had so many interesting questions and ideas! The students left us with smiles on our faces and a sense of relief when we found out that "This place is tuff!" is a compliment.

‘Doorstop donations’ make up some of our most unique artifacts. One of the joys of working at WBM is that you never know what someone is going to walk in with. Our MA Public History Practicum students did their first intake today! Thank you to Billie Williams for showing our students patience and for sharing your memories with us.
