We at The Gardens of Southeastern North Carolina strive to provide excellent products and/or services and a seamless experience to all our patrons. However, we understand that sometimes circumstances may lead to the cancellation of a purchase or service. In such cases, we have devised a refund policy that not only accommodates cancellations but also supports a worthy cause.

1. Weather Policy:

 The Gardens of Southeastern North Carolina retains the authority to reschedule or cancel an event in the event of inclement weather. Should the need to reschedule arise, and you find yourself unable to attend the new date, your purchase will be considered a generous donation to support The Gardens' mission. Alternatively, if the event is canceled without rescheduling, you will have the option to receive a full refund or graciously contribute the amount as a charitable donation to The Gardens.

Customers who wish to cancel their purchase or service must notify us in writing via email at info@thegardensofsenc.com or by contacting our customer support team at 1 (800) 624-8174. Please provide your order/reference number and the reason for the cancellation.

3. Refund Process:

Upon receiving your cancellation request and verifying your eligibility, we will process your refund accordingly. Depending on the payment method used during the original purchase, the refund will be issued through the same channel. Please allow 3 business days for the refund to be processed and reflect in your account.

4. Refund Options:

Instead of providing a monetary refund, we offer you the opportunity to make a difference in the community. In the event of cancellation, you have the option to choose a charitable donation to The Gardens of Southeastern North Carolina, a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental conservation and community enhancement. 

5. Donation Confirmation:

7. Non-Refundable Services:

Please note that certain products or services may be non-refundable, as indicated during the purchase process or in the terms and conditions of the specific offering.

8. Policy Changes:

This refund policy is subject to change without prior notice. Any updates will be posted on our website and will apply to all cancellation requests made after the revised policy's effective date.

About The Southern Lights at The Gardens of Southeastern North Carolina

At The Gardens, our aspiration in hosting The Southern Lights is to craft enchanting moments of wonder for each and every guest. The mesmerizing allure of lights transcends age, evoking a sense of awe in all who behold them. As visitors step into the radiant embrace of our mature native hardwood trees, bask in the endless twinkling hues of blues, greens, and reds, or witness the pure amazement in children gazing at the majestic 17-foot Christmas Tree adorned with a dazzling "Merry Christmas," we firmly believe that everyone will leave The Southern Lights with a beaming smile and cherished memories.


To bring The Southern Lights to life, The Gardens has joined forces with Patriot Illumination, a Veteran owned family business renowned for their expertise in Christmas lights. Together, we have meticulously crafted a one-of-a-kind light show that will grace The Gardens every weekend from Thanksgiving through the beginning of the New Year. The Southern Lights embody the spirit of excitement and wonder that characterizes the Christmas season, captivating hearts of all ages.


In contemplation, we recognize that lights possess a transformative power; they transport you to a different realm. A light show is an unforgettable experience that can make you feel both small and courageous, immersed in mystery while embracing trust. Indeed, lights hold a special place in our hearts, stirring emotions and creating lasting connections within us.
