From 1927 to 1937 Edwin Clarkson purchased eleven parcels of land along Charlotte’s now-illustrious Ridgewood Avenue, to create what is now Wing Haven.Carefully tending to and nurturing nearly 3 acres of gardens, the Clarksons thoughtfully designed their home to offer protection and respite for feathered friends.
Completely encompassed on all sides, the Clarksons laid every brick to create the wall that encloses the garden as well as the meandering pathway that leads throughout. Paths lead to breathtaking attraction points, such as a series of wisteria-draped arches, pools and fountains, or perfectly trimmed hedgerows, and flower beds are curated to have various blooms year-round.
