Following its Bloom with a View event, the N.C. Arboretum in Asheville donated flowers and plants to various organizations in Western North Carolina, including Haywood Community College.
HCC picked up two truckloads of hydrangeas and Oriental lilies from the arboretum in early May, planning to use them in flower beds around campus this summer. The plants are currently housed in the on-campus greenhouse and tended by volunteers from HCC’s Green Leaf Initiative volunteer group as well as its campus development staff.
