PEARSON Garden

The Pearson Garden is considered the flagship garden for Bountiful Cities and the site where Bountiful Cities began in 2000 and is owned by Bountiful Cities. This site is about 1 ½ acres located at 408 Pearson Drive in the Montford neighborhood. It is planted with vegetables, herbs, perennials,  and fruit trees. This site has a covered pavilion, the Community Garden Network tool library, compost toilet, cob oven and 2 small greenhouses and has held numerous workshops and community events over the years. It has produced thousands of pounds of produce that has fed 100’s of people and hosted 100’s of volunteers. In 2011 Bountiful Cities started an urban CSA from the Pearson Garden.  Pearson has been a vital resource for building the larger urban agriculture movement in Asheville as we have worked in partnership with communities towards building strong healthy food systems.
