The Cape Fear Garden Club’s revamped youth program is part of this year’s North Carolina Azalea Festival. Participating high school juniors and seniors will be at the club’s Garden Tour on April 8-10 as well as other festival events that weekend. This will be the first year the Azalea Ambassadors – now open to male and female students – replaces the Azalea Belles, which featured girls in antebellum-era dresses. Their new look was unveiled during a recent event (above) for those whose gardens are on this year’s tour, and the Azalea Ambassadors’ official introduction takes place at the Ambassadors’ Tea 2-4 p.m. April 3 at the New Hanover County Arboretum.
