Clean Water: Our Heritage, Our Legacy Preventing Polluted Runoff
Airlie Gardens is a 67-acre public garden owned and operated by New Hanover County since 1999. Its location on Bradley Creek, an ecologically and economically important estuarine waterway, as well as the ten-acres of freshwater lake within the property, make Airlie Gardens an ideal place to educate the public about preventing polluted runoff. Airlie Gardens is in the Bradley Creek watershed.
New Hanover County is the second smallest county and the second most densely populated county in N.C. The county is an urban, coastal county containing many watersheds. Stormwater in our county drains directly to vital waterways like the Cape Fear River, Intracoastal Waterway, and Atlantic Ocean via our watersheds. Whether you live inland or on the coast, your actions impact our water bodies since everyone lives in a watershed.
