Blazing Star Flowers, a participant in the farm business incubator at the SAHC Community Farm, still has shares available in their fresh flower CSA. The flower CSA/weekly subscription starts on June 9, and you can choose either a pre-made bouquet or loose flowers to arrange yourself. Join for just a month or for the whole season. Pick up your flowers weekly at one of four locations (South Asheville, SAHC Community Farm, River Arts District, or Weaverville), or have them delivered (for additional fee). There is time to sign up to begin your weekly flower subscription this month!
FLOWER CSA MEMBERSHIPS
Get farm fresh local flowers every week and support local agriculture at the same time. Enjoy them yourself or give a share as a cheerful gift. Sign up for one month or the full summer season June-September. We grow over 50 species and 200 varieties of flowers to offer you a range of color, texture, and botanical interest all season long. These fresh flower bouquets add a bright spot to your home or workspace.
What’s a flower CSA membership or share? The term has been used somewhat interchangeably with flower subscription and flower subscription service. A subscription is also a weekly flower pick up or delivery but the heart of the relationship behind a CSA or Community Supported Agriculture share is one of partnership and support more than frequent customer. Learn about the CSA origin story and model here or read our CSA Member Agreement here.
SELECT A PRE-MADE BOUQUET OR LOOSE FLOWER STEMS:
As a CSA member, you will receive lush seasonal flowers every Thursday. As you order, select either a ‘Pre-made Bouquet’ or a bucket of ‘Loose Flowers’ to arrange yourself. Both bouquet and bucket members will receive a short video explaining how to best care for their flowers for a long vase life.

Red, White and Tuna is supported by the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, and the Community Foundation of Henderson County.
Directed by Hendersonville Theater’s Beth Bristol, performers Jonathan Forrester and Victoria Lamberth play 20 quirky characters of both genders and various ages. These memorable characters include matronly ladies, cowboy disc jockeys, hippies, and a dozen other memorable, unique characters all wrapped up in politics, relationships, and gossip.
“It’s just one of the funniest plays I’ve ever worked on,” said director Beth Bristol. “And between the absolute hilarity of the script and Jonathan’s and Victoria’s antics, I can barely keep a straight face during rehearsals. They’re the perfect pair to pull off this type of zany comedy.”
Bristol returns to HT to direct her third comedy on the Hendersonville stage. She previously directed The Foreigner and Moonlight and Magnolias. She was last seen on the HT stage in 2018 in Rumors. Bristol has been a teacher for 16 years for Henderson County Public Schools.
Victoria Lamberth is an actor, director and writer who lives in Hendersonville. Victoria started acting in middle school, and she has acted professionally in Nashville, Los Angeles and Memphis. Her last appearance on the HT stage was as Barbara in August: Osage County. When she is not onstage, Lamberth is employed as Artistic Director of HT.
Jonathan Forrester has been acting, directing and stage managing for over 20 years. Forrester directed Always a Bridesmaid in 2021. Forrester is the Life Enrichment Coordinator for Trinity View Senior Living Community in Arden and serves on HT’s board of directors.
Parental guidance is suggested due to references to alcohol and smoking, adult situations and language, some of which may be considered blasphemous. Showtimes are 7:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays and 3 PM on Sundays. Hendersonville Theater has made masks optional for patrons, but volunteers, staff and performers are fully vaccinated. No proof of vaccination is required to attend a performance.
Proud Mary Theatre Company presents the Upstate premiere of the bold new musical comedy Head Over Heels by The Go-Go’s, the Musical Comedy of the Summer for seven performances only June 24-July 2, 2022.
This laugh-out-loud love story is set to the music of the iconic 1980’s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s (2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee), including the hit songs, “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” “Head Over Heels,” and Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.”
By Ed Howard, Joe Sears, and Jaston Williams
DIRECTED BY BETH BRISTOL
