Attention Golfers!
Please join the Housing Assistance Corporation for a day on the green to support workforce and affordable housing initiatives in Henderson County and surrounding areas.
Check-in will begin at 10:30am with a shotgun start at 11:30am
Lunch and after play snacks will be provided. Prizes will be awarded to the winners and we have a fabulous door prize raffle.
Support Asheville GreenWorks’ Urban Forestry program by planting a native Paw Paw grown in our nursery to celebrate the release of The Hop’s Paw Paw ice cream.
You’ll need a mate to pollinate! – If you don’t have a Paw Paw already planted at your home, you may want to consider purchasing 2 from us. We will choose two different genetic strains, which is needed for cross-pollination to produce fruit. Paw Paws are self-infertile, so for good fruit set, each variety must be fertilized with pollen from a different variety of Paw Paw tree.
Paw Paws are also the host plant for Zebra Swallowtail butterflies. Learn more about Paw Paws.
Paw Paw’s can be picked up on either:
-
(Paw Paw Ice Cream release day!) Friday October 6th, 3-6pm at The Hop Merrimon – 640 Merrimon Ave #103, Asheville, NC 28804
-
Tuesday October 10th, 10am-1pm at the Sand Hill Nursery at the Buncombe County Sports Park 24 Apac Circle, Asheville, NC 28804 (first parking lot on the left past the dog park)
Please note, seedlings vary in size and will be in either 1 or 3 gallon pots.
