Abstract:
The Dovetail Garden, located in Charlotte's historic Fourth Ward neighborhood, is an eclectic garden, with roses, collard greens, tulips, and tomatoes growing side by side. The Fourth Ward is divided between residents of Edwin Towers, a Charlotte Housing Authority high-rise where low-income, mostly elderly and mostly African Americans live, and the affluent, mostly white residents who make up the rest of the ward's population. These two groups rarely interacted. Tomlin discusses how this unique 100-foot-wide circular garden brought a closer connection with people in the neighborhood.

Abstract:
Elizabeth Clarkson, known as Charlotte's \"Bird Lady\" until her death in 1988, created Wing Haven Gardens and Bird Sanctuary. She had designed her house and had it built in Charlotte before she arrived from Texas as a new bride in 1927. However, all that surrounded it was barren Carolina clay. She set about creating the formal gardens, duck ponds, and woodlands that today are managed by the Wing Haven Foundation, Inc.
