Overview
Wing Haven Garden & Bird Sanctuary is one of North Carolina's most intimate and historically meaningful bird gardens. Founded in 1927 by Elizabeth and Edwin Clarkson, the sanctuary was designed as a living refuge for birds, pollinators, and people long before backyard habitat gardening became mainstream. Its layered plantings, quiet paths, water features, and dense cover create the kind of sheltered environment Ruby-throated Hummingbirds use during the warm months. Unlike large botanical gardens, Wing Haven feels personal and contemplative, making it ideal for visitors who want to experience hummingbirds in a garden that was built around bird life from the beginning. For the Hummingbird Trail, it offers heritage, habitat, and emotional resonance in one compact Charlotte destination.
