Docent Led Tours of The Learning Garden
Sep 25 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
NC Cooperative Extension Buncombe County Center

Tours on the last Wednesday of the month, June through September
June 26, July 31, August 28, September 25
10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

The Learning Garden is open for informal visits Monday through Friday throughout the year, but if you visit on a Wednesday, during the growing season, you can meet the Master Gardeners working in the gardens and ask questions about the plants and their care. A visit to The Learning Garden, on a workday affords you the opportunity to view each of nine garden areas, to ask questions and learn successful horticultural practices from the Master Gardeners who lovingly tend the gardens.  The Learning Garden consists of these individual areas: Gateway Garden, Rose Garden, Cottage Garden, Four Seasons Garden, Dye Garden, Vegetable Garden, Pollinator Garden, Compost Area, and the Sun and Shade Garden.  In addition, the complex has about two miles of walking trails.

On the last Wednesday of the month from June to September (June 26, July 31, August 28, September 25) you can join a more formal tour and be lead through the gardens by a master gardener docent as you watch the other gardeners caring for the plants. See beautiful and interesting plants, delicious vegetables, native plants for beauty and pollinator interest. The tours start at 10:00 a.m. and should last approximately an hour.  The tours will begin outside the front door of the Buncombe County

In the event of steady rain in West Asheville, the workday and the tour will be canceled.

The tour is free and registration is not necessary.

We invite you to visit often, observe the gardens, and ask questions as the Master Gardeners tend the gardens through the growing season. If you have questions, call 828-255-5522.
