Natural beauty and a temperate climate are two of Pender County's greatest assets. Thick woodlands are filled with lofty pines and ancient hardwoods. Wildflowers grow along the roadsides while cultivated plant life seems to thrive in private lawns and gardens. Warm weather begins in early spring and usually continues through November, which means that the county enjoys a long growing season, and that residents as well as vacationers can participate in outdoor activities almost year round. Activities and events popular to Coastal Eastern North Carolina are the Spot Festival , Azalea Festival, and Blueberry Festival.
