Independence Park Demonstration Garden 1418 Armory Dr. Charlotte, NC
Independence Park Demonstration Garden is located at the Cooperative Extension offices near Central Piedmont Community College, off 7th Street. The Entry Garden, planted in 2010, provides a dramatic plantscape design lending visual interest and color to a 1940s-era cinder block building. The Sunny Side Garden shows how little space is needed to grow vegetables, which provide seasonal harvests that are distributed to nearby food pantries. Surrounded by Independence Park, which features large fields, a playground and tennis courts, the Demonstration Garden provides a fitting example of how well sustainable design can serve commercial buildings. |
