Many, many thanks to all of you who made the second annual West Asheville Garden Stroll (WAGS) such a success! On a blessed rainy Saturday in September of 2010, many visitors from near and far enjoyed the gardens and celebrated West Asheville’s passion for gardening and connection!

Is this garden tour appropriate for children?
Children are very welcome in our West Asheville gardens! As a matter of fact, one of our goals is to inspire and enable parents and kids to get involved in gardening, both in community endeavors and at home.
We ask that children be supervised in the gardens, for their own safety and with respect to the home owners. Please be especially aware of your children around ponds, garden art made of hard materials, walls and slopes.
Are there public restrooms available?
For the day of the stroll, the following locations are providing restrooms:
- Westend Bakery – 757 Haywood Rd.
- West Asheville Park – 198 Vermont Ave.
- West Asheville Public Library – 942 Haywood Rd.
