The 13th annual West Asheville Garden Stroll (WAGS) will take place Saturday, September 10, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The free, rain-or-shine event will kick off at Trinity United Methodist Church at 10:30 a.m., where visitors can pick up stroll guides with a map and garden descriptions. There will also be family-friendly songs, Street Creatures\u2019 giant Tree-Hugger puppet and local garden organizations on hand to provide tips and resources.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Stroll features 14 gardens that stretch between two historic West Asheville neighborhoods: Burton Street and Brucemont-Dorchester. \u201cWe love how the WAGS brings gardeners from all around the neighborhood together to gain community and inspiration from one another,\u201d says Duston Mason. The garden belonging to Mason and Katie Washburn is new to the tour this year. \u201cOur garden illustrates the use of a small space to create a lively and peaceful environment for wildlife and humans alike,\u201d says Mason. \u201cWe have divided our outdoor spaces into \u2018rooms\u2019 to make the small space feel larger than it really is. We do our best to provide flowers and host plants for insects from spring through fall. We also throw in some things for ourselves to draw us out into the garden at all times of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chas Jansen, who has been a part of the WAGS organizing group every year since the first event in 2009, will also have his garden on the tour this year. \u201cMy efforts have been devoted to creating an urban oasis habitat honoring the Creator by fostering a diverse community of species, including seven kinds of berries,\u201d Jansen says. \u201cIn 2010, the front yard was transformed into a permaculture layout that featured a sinuous path (all that\u2019s left of the lawn), a strategically-placed 330-gallon tote tank for collecting rainwater and an herb spiral 9 feet across. As a \u2018work in process,\u2019 it continues.\u201d<\/p>\n
