Wing Haven Gardens

We had a relaxing Saturday meandering through the peaceful gardens of Elizabeth Clarkson and Elizabeth Lawrence at Wing Haven then a nice lunch afterwards.

 

Wing Haven gardens and bird sanctuary have been in Charlotte, North Carolina since their creation in 1927. Altogether, the pathways meander through 3.5 acres from woodland, to formal gardens to rose gardens.

A garden should inspire. - Elizabeth Clarkson

 

The gardens have plantings for birds, and bees. There's lot's of nesting areas, food, and water features. The plaques and prayers have a spiritual feel that encompass the still, still sounds.

 

It was a delightful day, and a recommended visit.

Many thanks for visiting,

The Carolinas

Last Thursday, we got up really early, and headed out in our rental car on a drive from North Port, FL to Charlotte, NC. It was an enjoyable drive, with a scrumptious lunch and some sightseeing in Savannah, GA. 

Here are some pictures of our trip: 

While in Charlotte, NC we stayed at the 803 Elizabeth B&B. It was a welcoming stay.

We were in Charlotte for a little while for a meeting, to browse a home and try out a few local restaurants. Then we did the 10+ hour drive back to our rental in North Port, FL.
