The garden has been designed and planted so that everyone, regardless of their visual ability, may enjoy it. The garden is part of a large complex of multivariate botanical gardens located on the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. This particular garden is named in memory of Eddy Merle Watson, the gifted musician son of legendary blind acoustic musician Arthel "Doc" Watson. The garden contains many ornate raised planters, a diversity of plants which were chosen for their strong fragrances and unusual textures, and braille identification plaques which identify each plant for the visually impaired. The most prominent element of the garden however, is a serpentine brick wall of approximately 150 feet which contains a series of elaborate brick sculptures called "Nature's Alphabet" and "The Tree of Memories." This inspiring work of art was designed and sculpted by noted Goldsboro, NC brick sculptor and artist, Patricia Turlington. "Nature's Alphabet" spans two panels, each 16 inches high and 27 feet long. Images on the panels represent letters in the English alphabet, from an armadillo for "A" to a zebra for "Z". A "pocket" outline of each image enables the visually impaired to insert their hand and follow the outline of whatever is pictured there. Open sunrise to sunset.

The Town of Wilkesboro and the Humane Society of Wilkes partnered to bring this dog park to fruition. The Hidden Oaks Dog Park is located on an acre tract within municipal owned Cub Creek Park and is fenced in for your pooch's delight to run and play off leash from sunrise to sunset. The fenced-in area is broken into two areas ~ one for large breeds and the other for smaller breeds. A large covered area for pet owners to sit, relax, stay cool/dry while their furry friends run and play. This covered area sits in the center of the small and large dog areas and sitting is provided. The Humane Society of Wilkes also has a building beside the dog park and the Humane Society is open from 12 - 3 PM on most Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. OTHER AMENITIES AND RULES: Dogs should not be left unattended. All animals must be healthy and have current rabies and disease vaccinations. Children under 12 should be accompanied by an adult. Please do not permit children to approach animals with owner's permission. A watering station is available for pets and of course, a fire hydrant is provided within the dog park. Owners are welcome to bring toys and balls for their furry friends to play with. Female dogs in heat are not permitted until after their cycle ends. Owners should clean up after their animals. Doggie waste bags and dispensers are located throughout the park. Owners should cover any holes dug after their animals. Animals must be on a leash outside of the dog park fencing and in other areas of the park. Examples: walking and mountain biking trails, creek, & fields. No smoking or glass containers are allowed in the "off-leash" areas. We asked that all dogs to be well socialized and have all vaccines before entering the park.
