History
The Clarksons' gave their garden to the Wing Haven Foundation in 1971. Since that time, its Board of Directors has been responsible for maintaining Wing Haven Gardens and Bird Sanctuary in keeping with the Clarksons' spirit and intent. In 2008, the Wing Haven Foundation purchased the Elizabeth Lawrence House and Garden. The new SEED Wildlife & Children's Gardens provide hands-on exploratory learning and a natural habitat for local wildlife. Together, these gardens welcome visitors of all ages to discover and learn. Wing Haven also offers more than 40 programs and special events each year.
