The Friends of Fourth Ward will host their Secret Gardens of Fourth Ward tour on Saturday, 5/20 and Sunday, 5/21. The Secret Gardens Tour is an urban garden and lifestyle tour in the heart of Charlotte, and it showcases a mix of private gardens, courtyards, rooftop terraces and outdoor living spaces. Most of these are rarely, if ever, open to the public, so your ticket allows you to discover these hidden gems, while strolling the brick-paved sidewalks of the charming 4th Ward neighborhood in full bloom.
In addition to the featured gardens, the tour will highlight public art, historic homes and special points of interest along the tour route, effectively making all of Historic Fourth Ward – and the extraordinary quality of life it offers – part of the tour. Plus, there will be complimentary food and beverage tastings (while they last) in gardens and restaurants along the tour route, courtesy of Poplar Tapas, Doc Porter’s Distillery, The Wooden Vine, The Asbury, Potts Chocolates, and Captivating Croatia; $1.00 oysters from Sea Level NC; and free horse-drawn carriage rides throughout the neighborhood during tour hours.
The Secret Gardens of Fourth Ward tour is a walkable, self-guided tour that runs May 20th and 21st, 2017, from Noon to 4 pm each day.
Your ticket includes admission to a variety of private gardens, as well as docent-led tours of Fourth Ward Park and historic Elmwood/Pinewood Cemetery (Elmwood @ 3 pm each day).
Tickets are $20 each, and may be purchased here online, as well as at Alexander Michael’s Restaurant & Tavern or Park Road Books. All tickets are good for either day, and are non-refundable.
Additional tasting partners & activities announced daily, so be sure to follow Friends of the Fourth Ward on Facebook for frequent event updates and the latest info.
