The Hope Grows Garden: Breast and Ovarian Cancer on the HudsonAlpha campus was created to pay tribute to those who are battling or have battled breast and ovarian cancers as well as those who are working diligently to find new discoveries for these diseases. The garden opened in 2017. The Hope Grows Garden for breast and ovarian cancer is located in McMillian Park. The space for the garden is a tranquil, serene area located on the double helix walking path.
