On July 25, The Charlotte Observer reported the death of an important benefactor and philanthropist, Daniel Stowe. His generosity created the Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens with the land he donated in 1991 along with financial help he provided.
The gardens, in Gaston County, NC, attracts about 60,000 visitors annually. Stowe was inspired by such gardens as Calloway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Ga., the Botanic Gardens in Chicago and the Longwood Gardens near Wilmington, Del.
