We have an important announcement regarding our community event at the Dr. George Washington Carver Edible Park. We are making a change to the meeting date to better accommodate everyone's schedules. Going forward, we will be meeting on the third Friday of each month.
Mark your calendars for our next gathering on Friday, June 16, from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. Join us at the Dr. George Washington Carver Edible Park, located in the vibrant East End/Valley Street neighborhood of Asheville. This exciting and rewarding event will give you the opportunity to contribute to the park's maintenance and expansion.
Guided by the knowledgeable Summer Whelden from Bountiful Cities, you'll have the chance to learn and participate in various activities. From mulching and tree care to shrub maintenance, trash pickup, invasive species removal, and planting, there will be plenty of hands-on opportunities to make a tangible difference in this remarkable green space.
To ensure everyone's comfort and safety, Bountiful Cities and Stephens-Lee Recreation Center will provide additional tools, hand sanitizer, and Asheville Greenworks will offer gloves and trash bags. However, we encourage participants to bring their own gloves, hand tools, water, and anything else they may need to enjoy the event to the fullest. While masks are welcome, they are not required.
But that's not all! We have an additional event to look forward to. The Bountiful Cities Urban Garden Tour & Tasting will take place on Sunday, July 9. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore and taste the offerings of urban gardens in Asheville. Don't miss out! The event is free and open to the public, but there is a fee for the tastings.

Convenient parking is available at the Stephens-Lee Recreation Center parking lot, located at 30 George Washington Carver Avenue.
