Popular garden in Optimist Park to remain in place

CHARLOTTE — A popular Optimist Park garden will remain in place.

Charlotte City Council voted last night to renew the lease the Rose McGill Garden again. It’s being leased to the nonprofit that manages the land.

It’s a five-year contract, and the nonprofit will pay a dollar a year for the land.

The Rose McGill Garden is connected to a popular bottle and coffee shop, Rosie’s.

It’s also a wedding venue and event space.
