Flowers planted at location of former downtown Confederate Monument

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The former site of a Confederate Monument in downtown Wilmington has now been replaced with fresh flowers.

The Cape Fear Garden Club placed the plants Friday morning at the intersection of Third Street and Market Street where the monument stood until a few years ago.

This project was completed with a grant from the Cape Fear Garden Club’s 2022 Azalea Garden Tour.

A fountain-like urn was placed on the concrete base of the previous statue.

2023 grant applications are now available until June 1st HERE.
