Love fruit? Love free fruit? Come by the George Washington Carver Edible Park to help with some annual maintenance, and take home all the apples you can find!
Those of you familiar with the park can be helpful with the planned removal of invasives and tree maintenance. If you’ve never been there, you’re in for a treat! We will meet at the park and begin work at 9am, each of us working as long as we feel comfortable with it.
Please bring your own tools: round-head shovels, trowels, pruners, loppers, gloves…whatever you typically use in your own gardens. Water and snacks are also recommended as needed, mosquito repellent if mozzies find you tasty. (A new Repel brand spray made with eucalyptus and lemon oil works fabulously!). Bathrooms in the adjacent Stephens Lee Rec Center will be available for our use.
In 1997, Carver Edible Park was built out of a trash pile less than a mile from the center of Asheville. Designed using permaculture principles, it features over forty fruit and nut trees, vines, and shrubs. Carver Park has been featured in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Plough to Pantry, Tasting Table’s National Edition and other major media outlets because it is the first public forest garden in the country.
