Details

On May 22nd and 23rd, 2021, from Noon to 4 pm each day, Fourth Ward CLT will host the Secret Gardens of Fourth Ward, an urban garden and lifestyle tour in the heart of Center City Charlotte. From the micro to the magnificent, the tour showcases a mix of private gardens, courtyards and outdoor living spaces that are rarely, if ever, open to the public. This walkable, self-guided event allows tour-goers to explore these hidden oases while strolling the brick-paved sidewalks of this charming neighborhood in full bloom, complete with food and beverage tastings at gardens and restaurants along the way. Tour-goers also may choose to tour via complimentary electric-powered Charlotte Joy Rides (first-come, first-served). 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.

Secret Gardens includes admission to a variety of private and communal gardens, as well as Fourth Ward Park and historic Elmwood/Pinewood Cemetery. Optional docent-led tours of Elmwood/Pinewood Cemetery begin at 3 pm each day.

Additional Tour Attractions include:

Complimentary food and beverage tastings (while they last) in gardens and restaurants along the tour route and free Charlotte Joy Rides (first-come, first served) throughout the neighborhood during tour hours.

 

Hospitality and Tasting partners include:

Petty Thieves Brewing, Great Wagon Road Distillery, Broken Shed Vodka, Copper Barrel Distillery, Doc Porter’s Distillery, Mayberry Spirit Co., Queen City Grounds, Southern Distilling Company, Poplar Tapas, Potts Chocolate, Sapienza, It’s Poppin’ Gourmet Kettle Korn and Sea Level (complimentary oysters). More vendors will be announced soon, so follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates!
