Carolina Fence Garden at Heritage Park

The  Carolina Fence™ Garden has historic underpinnings in our state. Members of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation W.A.I.T.™ (Wildlife And Industry Together) traveled across the state seeking simple landscape elements that would attract native species. In their handbook, The Greater Greenville Master Gardeners and the Clemson Master Gardeners define the Carolina Fence Garden as follows:

“Utilizing some very basic elements, the Carolina Fence™ incorporates both natural and cultural elements, which have been designated as symbols of our state. The Carolina Fence™ is a landscape component that can be adapted to a variety of settings. The Fence can function as a valuable habitat element while showcasing symbols of natural and cultural history. Most importantly, as a habitat device, the Fence has the ability to attract and support native animal species.

The Heritage Park project meets all the criteria for certification as The  Carolina Fence™.
