We recommend that you use the centralized parking that will be available near the featured neighborhoods. The garden stroll is exceedingly walkable and bikeable this year.

West Asheville Baptist Church on Haywood Rd. has ample parking for the library opening ceremony and garden stroll check in. Ample parking is available at Grace Baptist Church at 718 Haywood Rd and West Asheville Park at 198 Vermont Ave for the garden clusters. Limited parking will be available at Rainbow Mountain Children’s School, 574 Haywood Rd.

Each cluster of gardens makes for a relatively easy stroll through the neighborhoods. Walking offers more opportunity to explore West Asheville and to see walk by sites that are not featured gardens on the tour. Bicycle riding is also highly encouraged.

The West Asheville Garden Stroll is a rare chance to intimately experience the great outdoors of our urban environment that so often goes unnoticed.
