Specialties: Airlie continues to amaze visitors with its breathtaking combination of formal gardens, wildlife, historic structures, walking trails, sculptures, views of Bradley Creek, 10-acres of freshwater lakes, more than 100,000 azaleas and the grandeur of the 467-year-old Airlie Oak. Established in 1900. The property was first developed as a garden by Sarah and Pembroke Jones, wealthy industrialists noted for their lavish entertaining and the genesis of the popular saying, keeping up with the Joneses. The Corbett family purchased the property in 1946 and would open it to the public several seasons throughout the year, the spring in particular, for the azaleas. The Gardens were devastated by several hurricanes, ongoing vandalism, and in decline so in 1998, the Corbett family was approached with an idea to develop the site into a subdivision with 47 single-family homes. The New Hanover County Commissioners decided to acquire the property in an effort to preserve the site for future generations. Working with a local land trust and the Corbett family, the County purchased Airlie in November of 1998. Airlie Gardens is now a historic public garden offering new programs for educational and cultural enrichment, beautiful plantings and year round beauty.
