Falconhurst Community Garden

In December 2018, Robert Wood, a local resident, generously donated a one-acre tract of land to Bountiful Cities. Situated near Haywood Road The Falconhurst Back 40, as neighbors affectionately refer to it, is a dedicated community agriculture space. Bountiful Cities mission is to build long-term food security through urban agriculture, education, resource sharing, promoting social justice, and food policy advocacy. We provide spaces for community members to grow food and gather and they take it from there! This community regularly hosts gatherings at the pizza ovens and during the hurricane they installed infrastructure for people to access water from a well on the property. The Falconhurst Food Forest, started in 2022, is a community garden run by neighbors on the downhill side of the land. It is focused on low maintenance edible or medicinal trees, shrubs and perennials, and providing habitat for pollinators. In 2025 “Kinked Hose Garden at The Back 40" began stewardship of the privately leased plot that runs down the center of the property. This space is managed by volunteer gardeners with a passion for food sovereignty, on a mission to build a more resilient community in the face of a changing climate. The two upper gardens are dedicated to produce and flowers- available to those in need and want- while the lower plot is currently left to native growth.
