Harbor Island
Garden Club
Now in its 60th year of existence,
the Harbor Island Garden Club
has assembled a collection of the
finest recipes from its entire membership
for its inaugural cookbook,
Harbor Island Celebrates! Available
in December at a variety of locations
around Wrightsville Beach
like The Fisherman’s Wife and
Motts Channel Seafood, Harbor
Island Celebrates! contains recipes
for seafood dishes, land food
dishes, beverages and desserts—
most of which have been handed
down through multiple generations
of Wrightsville Beachers. The
garden club’s president, Allison
Long, says that she hopes this will
make a great go-to cookbook for
everyday use. All of the proceeds
from the cookbook will fund the
construction of the children’s
interactive fountain that the
Harbor Island Garden club plans
to build in the picturesque Harbor
Way Gardens.
