Flowers Everywhere is a celebration of all the new growth blooming in our community garden. Join us in commemorating 22 years of land stewardship and community building!

Learn why the Dr. John Wilson Community Garden fills a vital, unique role in the Swannanoa River Valley and how you can help sustain our mission of “Grow, Share, Educate” by ensuring our community has access to locally grown, nutritious food at no cost. We are excited to share the bounty of the garden, celebrate successes, and take a look into the future.

Our celebration will take place in the meadow adjacent to the garden, with plenty of time to explore our flower garden, our production vegetable beds for donation where we grow food that goes directly back to community, and get inspired by what our community gardeners are growing. Food, N/A drinks, live music, a jam tasting, and fun will all be provided with your ticket. Read below for more details about what to expect. We look forward to seeing you there!
