PEARSON Food Hub and Garden
The Pearson Garden stands as the cornerstone of Bountiful Cities, marking the very spot where our journey began in 2000. Owned by Bountiful Cities, this lush 1 ½-acre oasis nestled in the Montford neighborhood at 408 Pearson Drive is a vibrant tapestry of vegetables, herbs, perennials, and fruit trees.
This property features essential amenities including a covered pavilion with running water, a walk-in cooler for produce storage, the Community Garden Network tool library, a compost toilet, a cob oven, and two greenhouses for community plant production. Over the years, Pearson Garden has been a hub for numerous workshops and community events, fostering learning and camaraderie among residents. The Pearson Food Hub continues this tradition and serves as a focal point for urban food production and distribution in Asheville. Learn more about the Pearson Food Hub HERE.
The garden's impact is felt far and wide, having yielded thousands of plants and fresh produce, nourishing hundreds of people and engaging hundreds of volunteers. Pearson Garden has been instrumental in cultivating the urban agriculture movement in Asheville, serving as a beacon of collaboration and empowerment within our communities. Together, we continue to build resilient, healthy food systems, rooted in the rich soil of Pearson Garden's legacy.
