The Garden Jubilee 2020 Nurseries & Orchard Tour will run from May 22 – 25, Friday through Monday of Memorial Day Weekend. This year’s Garden Jubilee Nurseries & Orchard Tour will be sending the public out to the local nurseries and orchards throughout Henderson County to prevent the gathering of the usual large crowds experienced on Main Street. Gardening is one of America’s favorite pastimes and the Blue Ridge Mountains provide a healthy environment for growing a vast variety of flowers and plants.

Please join author Constance Lombardo for a very special virtual program presented by Buncombe County Libraries. Ms. Lombardo will read from her new book “Everybody Says Meow” and then teach you how to draw your very own kittens! Rumor has it that some silly puppets might even make an appearance. Afterwards there will be a short Q&A session where you can ask her a question!
The program will be presented via ZOOM on Saturday, May the 23rd at 4pm.

As an added feature some of the nurseries and orchards will host a couple of craft or other garden related themed vendors at their location

Starting Friday June 5, at 8 a.m., Buncombe County Public Libraries will have 24 hours of local authors, librarians, essential workers, and familiar faces reading some of their favorite children’s books to kick off summer reading fun. Although we’re reading children’s stories, this event is to remind everyone to continue reading and creating throughout the summer months.
We’ll have different readers every hour, and in some cases on the half hour; featuring Wiley Cash, Alan Gratz, Bobbie Pyron, Ted E. Tourist, Asheville Fire Department, County Manager Avril Pinder, County Commissioner Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, multiple officers from the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office, nationally renowned musician Tashi Dorji, our friends from LEAF, and all your favorite children’s librarians.
We’re reading all day and all night and you’re welcome to join us on Zoom anytime. Register on the library event calendar to get the password. Stay tuned for the schedule of readers on Facebook and the library events calendar.
