The Mecklenburg County Historic Landmarks Department & Wing Haven are cohosting a book discussion on Becoming Elizabeth Lawrence: Discovered Letters of a Southern Gardener, edited by Emily Herring Wilson.  

Join us at Wing Haven in the Elizabeth “Pepper” Dowd Education Building to discuss the book Becoming Elizabeth Lawrence.  The editor Emily Herring Wilson will give a short introduction from her office in Winston-Salem via Zoom.  The bulk of the program will include a group discussion on the relationships and experiences that helped form Elizabeth Lawrence into an esteemed literary garden writer.  One of Wing Haven’s three gardens is the Elizabeth Lawrence House & Garden, which is a locally designated historic landmark.  After the discussion, the participants are welcome to take a twilight walk through the Elizabeth Lawrence Garden.

This program is free to attend, but due to limited seating, registration is required. Learn more on the Historic Landmark’s website below.
