Our chapter's program year begins in September and ends in May of the following year. We do not meet in June, July, and August.

Our usual meeting location is The New Hanover County Arboretum Auditorium in Wilmington, North Carolina. The location address and map are below. 

This year, all of our general meetings are taking place at the New Hanover Arboretum. Should there be any  changes, members will be advised by email and posted on website. 

Typically, meetings are the third Thursday of the month, but in some cases, this year's meetings dates may vary as noted on the Calendar of Ikebana Events.

Our gathering in May is hosted by a chapter member, to be announced. The meeting closes our official year with an informal covered dish luncheon to celebrate our friendships through flowers and to install chapter officers for the following year.
