The next workday on the Greenway will be held on Saturday, September 2 from 10:00 am – 12:30 pm. We’ll continue work on the area around the workshed in preparation for the West Asheville Garden Stroll (WAGS). The planting around the workshed was made possible by a WAGS grant.

Please meet at the workshed at 10:00 am.

Autumn workdays will be held on the second Saturday of October and November and dependent on the weather.

New Sign on the Greenway

Posted on by brotherhug

So proud to install the first of three informational signs on the greenway. Lots and lots of work went into  the design. Special thanks to designer Lee Seabrook; historian Brotherhug Barlow; and many other folks who provided expertise and editing! Funding for the signs was provided by Buncombe County and members of the FOHCG.

This sign is located at Cornbread Junction in the picnic area. Look for two others to be installed in the next week.

Join us for a picnic on May 19
