Item Description

Enjoy a private tour of Wing Haven Gardens in Charlotte led by garden curators of the Elizabeth Lawrence and Elizabeth Clarkson gardens. This package tour is for a group of up to 10 persons and includes refreshments.

When you visit Wing Haven Gardens you get to see and experience two beautiful gardens. A generation ago two extraordinary women, both named Elizabeth, lived and gardened just down the street from one another on Ridgewood Avenue.

Elizabeth Clarkson was not your garden variety gardener: This Elizabeth developed her formal garden as a habitat for songbirds—long before the horticultural concept of the garden as habitat existed.

Elizabeth Lawrence wrote the book on southern gardening: This Elizabeth, author of A Southern Garden, designed her garden as a plant laboratory in which she might grow some of everything that grows.
