Giving Back
At Carolina Garden World, we try to support our community. We have donated flowers, plants, and soils to a variety of local projects and nonprofits, including Hatcher Garden, HALTER, the STEAM Garden, RD Anderson. CGW supports fundraisers and donation drives as well. We have students from the School for the Deaf & Blind and McCarthy Teszler come to our garden shop to learn important work-skills training and get a little garden therapy.
Our proudest achievement is Sustainability Day. This event is hosted by Carolina Garden World and brings together citizens from the community and entrepreneurs with different aspects of knowledge on being environmentally friendly and using sustainable practices. We enjoy giving back because we believe in creating a community together. In a nutshell, we all grow from the same soil, right?
