Wing Haven Gardens

Want to get involved?

Nearly 75 years ago Elizabeth and Eddie Clarkson began the development of the garden we know today as Wing Haven. Thanks to the generous support provided through our membership, we continue to enjoy the garden and bird sanctuary that have grown from the Clarksons’ vision. We hope that you will consider joining Wing Haven. Your support will help us protect the Clarksons’ vision within the garden walls. At the same time, we can share the Clarksons’ vision outside the walls of Wing Haven. Your membership will help us to expand our educational programs for both children and adults. It will also allow us to expand our partnerships with schools in the Charlotte community as they create their own gardens.

We encourage you to join Wing Haven and help support this very special garden and wildlife sanctuary.
