点评:My husband and I were in Charlotte on a business and pleasure trip and, while there, we visited four gardens. The first of these was Wing Haven on April 10, 2025, and there is so much to love there.
First let me say, we are both in our fifties and I am disabled after a knee replacement went bad, though I can walk. My husband has recently been having knee trouble. We were able to get around the gardens easily, as there are paths and it is all level ground.
We luxuriated in the many bird calls and bubbling water features. We expected to see many birds, given the name of the garden, but what we mostly saw was movement in our periphery—birds alighting and taking flight in the lush foliage of shrubs and trees. So peaceful and calming. We did see a couple of cardinals near a set of bird feeders.
Of particular note were the gorgeous Kwanzan Cherry trees and stunning Snowball Viburnum trees. Absolutely showstopping. And there is a long rectangular pool beneath some of the Kwanzans and the surface of the water was nearly solid with beautiful pink petals. Many of the camellias (red, pink, white) were still in bloom, though I can imagine that last week they would have been breathtaking. There were a few roses blooming but many more in glorious bud. So much to enjoy at Wing Haven throughout spring and summer, I’m sure. And possibly on into fall.
We wholeheartedly recommend visiting Wing Haven and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
翻译:我和丈夫在夏洛特出差兼休闲,期间我们参观了四个花园。第一个是2025年4月10日参观的Wing Haven花园,那里有很多值得我们喜爱的地方。
首先,我要说的是,我们都五十多岁了,我的膝关节置换手术失败后就行动不便了,不过我还能走路。我丈夫最近膝盖有点问题。花园里有小路,而且都是平地,所以我们很容易就能走动。
我们尽情享受着鸟鸣声和潺潺流水的乐趣。考虑到花园的名字,我们本来以为会看到很多鸟,但我们主要看到的只是周围的动静——鸟儿在茂密的灌木和树木的枝叶间停歇和飞翔。如此宁静祥和。我们还在一组喂鸟器附近看到了几只红雀。
尤其值得一提的是美丽的关山樱花树和令人惊叹的雪球荚蒾树。绝对令人叹为观止。在一些关山树下,有一个长方形的水池,水面几乎是凝固的,上面点缀着美丽的粉色花瓣。许多山茶花(红色、粉色、白色)仍在盛开,但我可以想象,如果是上周,它们一定美得令人窒息。几朵玫瑰正在绽放,但更多的玫瑰正含苞待放。我敢肯定,春夏两季,Wing Haven 的景色一定丰富多彩。或许,秋天也一样。
我们诚挚地推荐您参观 Wing Haven,希望您也能像我们一样享受其中。
