Proceeds Support Master GardenerSM Programs

Garden tours raise money to support our programs, with emphasis on our School Garden Grants program. Since our first tour in 2007, we have given over $40,000 in grants to 50 different schools, allowing over 16,000 of Buncombe County children to become involved in healthy, outdoor learning activity. They are our future gardeners!
