A place for urban farmers and gardeners

Hours Tuesday-Saturday 10-6  Sunday noon-6 CLOSED MONDAY

Our Vision
The Eagledove family started with a handful of good friends and a used 30 year old greenhouse…..(we love to recycle). We disassembled Garland Greenhouse, in business from 1974 to 2008, from it’s Merrimon Ave location in 2010 and moved it to it’s current location on Swannanoa River Rd. My husband, Ajani and our son Forrest, worked with friends, who often turned out to be an all girl crews taking it apart and reassembling it. We called it our barn raising, we never could have done it alone. Community is a wonderful thing.

An empty 3000 sq ft. Semi-truck washing bay has now been transformed into the Garden Center. Creating a place for workshops and community meetings was an important part of the overall plans for our business. Our goal of creating a meeting place was to encourage and support the exchange of information from our neighbors in our most diverse city, Asheville, NC.

Our Commitment
It is our most important responsibility to our community to promote organic choices when possible and encourage sustainable practices that include so many things, backyard chicken keeping, composting, actively encouraging growing your own food, vermiculture, and more. We offer classes on chicken keeping, permaculture, herbal uses, canning, bee keeping, gardening and the list continues to grow. In a world of large franchise stores, we believe there is still a place for the local shop around the corner whose proprietors believe we can be a resource for discovery, conversation and community.
