Photo by Kate Frost<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By Emma Castleberry<\/p>\n<p>The WNC Nature Center and the WNC Farmers Market have partnered to create the Educational Farmers Market Garden, a new exhibit at the wildlife park that generates fresh produce for the animals at the Nature Center and demonstrates connectivity between wildlife and farming. \u201cAgriculture and nature can have a sustainable relationship, and the more our community understands this relationship, the better we can find ways to conserve the place we call home,\u201d says Kate Frost, director of development and marketing with the Friends of the WNC Nature Center.<\/p>\n<p>The Educational Market Garden uses sustainable planting methods including rainwater collection, composting, soil restoration and companion plants. \u201cMany of the practices we have implemented into this garden can be used in your garden at home to create a space that works in harmony with nature and provides food for your family,\u201d says Ellerslie McCue, marketing coordinator for the WNC Farmers Market. The garden produces lettuce, carrots, squash, zucchini, cantaloupe, cherry tomatoes and acorn squash that are given to the animals for diet and enrichment. Farmers and vendors are also working with the WNC Farmers Market to grow enrichment items that can\u2019t be grown on-site, like pumpkins, watermelons and trees. \u201cThis is like farm to table, or in our case, farm to habitat,\u201d says Frost.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56898\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56898\" class=\"wp-image-56898\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P2P-Educational-Farm-L-to-R-Dibe-Duckett-Karen-Babcock-Ellerslie-McCue-Phil-Jacobus-Kate-Frost-taken-by-Kelly-Shotwell-Balsam-Business-Photography.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P2P-Educational-Farm-L-to-R-Dibe-Duckett-Karen-Babcock-Ellerslie-McCue-Phil-Jacobus-Kate-Frost-taken-by-Kelly-Shotwell-Balsam-Business-Photography.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P2P-Educational-Farm-L-to-R-Dibe-Duckett-Karen-Babcock-Ellerslie-McCue-Phil-Jacobus-Kate-Frost-taken-by-Kelly-Shotwell-Balsam-Business-Photography-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P2P-Educational-Farm-L-to-R-Dibe-Duckett-Karen-Babcock-Ellerslie-McCue-Phil-Jacobus-Kate-Frost-taken-by-Kelly-Shotwell-Balsam-Business-Photography-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P2P-Educational-Farm-L-to-R-Dibe-Duckett-Karen-Babcock-Ellerslie-McCue-Phil-Jacobus-Kate-Frost-taken-by-Kelly-Shotwell-Balsam-Business-Photography-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P2P-Educational-Farm-L-to-R-Dibe-Duckett-Karen-Babcock-Ellerslie-McCue-Phil-Jacobus-Kate-Frost-taken-by-Kelly-Shotwell-Balsam-Business-Photography-810x425.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/P2P-Educational-Farm-L-to-R-Dibe-Duckett-Karen-Babcock-Ellerslie-McCue-Phil-Jacobus-Kate-Frost-taken-by-Kelly-Shotwell-Balsam-Business-Photography-1140x599.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56898\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Left to right) Dibe Duckett, Karen Babcock, Ellerslie McCue, Phil Jacobus, Kate Frost. Photo by Kelly Shotwell<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The idea was born when Phil Jacobus, manager of the WNC Farmers Market, was spending a day with his family at the WNC Nature Center and saw the farming exhibit. \u201cWe wanted to get involved with their organization and work to educate their visitors about agriculture,\u201d says McCue. \u201cWe were met by a very positive and excited response from the WNC Nature Center team. Both organizations have very similar missions and strive to be a positive force in the community so it was a perfect fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A kiosk at the garden explains its origins and provides context about its purpose. \u201cWe hope the garden and kiosk will inspire people to grow their own gardens and connect with farmers and growers in their local community,\u201d says McCue. \u201cOne of my favorite signs on the kiosk is \u2018What I want to be when I grow up,\u2019 that shows kids all of the opportunities available in agriculture whether on a farm, as a vet or in agriculture technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Frost says that this new exhibit and partnership with the Farmers Market highlight the Nature Center as a cultural resource. \u201cThe WNC Nature Center is not just a wildlife park,\u201d says Frost. \u201cIt creates opportunities to learn hands-on how what we do impacts the world we live in. And conservation is at the forefront of that conversation. Our mission is to connect people with the plants and animals of this region, and this addition of the garden creates another touchpoint to do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The WNC Nature Center is located at 75 Gashes Creek Road, Asheville.
