Wing Haven
Wing Haven is a garden in Charlotte featuring trees, shrubs, and flowering plants arranged across multiple planted sections. The layout blends open lawns with planted pathways and showcases diverse plant types throughout the grounds.
The garden was founded in the 1920s and grew over decades through the ongoing work of its owners who steadily planted and shaped the land. It shows how garden design evolved in the region over that period.
The garden grew from the private passion of its founders who collected rare plants and designed spaces with artistic intention. Visitors can still see their personal vision reflected in how the different areas are arranged and planted.
The space is best explored on foot, with pathways leading through different planted areas and different plants blooming at different times throughout the year. Bring water and wear sturdy shoes, as terrain and paths vary across the grounds.
The garden retains its private origins even though it is now open to visitors, rather than being redesigned as a large public project. This keeps it feeling like a personal retreat rather than a typical city park.
