Airlie Gardens (67 acres) is a public garden in Wilmington, North Carolina.
It was created in 1901 as a private garden, for the Pembroke Jones family by Mrs. Jones, as a lush, flowing, naturalistic Southern garden, with thousands of azaleas, camellias, magnolias, and wisteria. German landscape architect Rudolf Topel, transformed the garden to a picturesque garden.[1] In 1999, it was purchased by New Hanover County and is open Tuesday through Sunday for an admission fee
African-American folk artist Minnie Evans was the Airlie Gardens gatekeeper for a number of years.
