Hi
I'm
Krista,
Tolson
I'm,
a
mother
here
at
Isaac
Dixon.
We
love
our
garden
and
it's
a
very
welcoming
environment
for
new
parents
who
haven't
quite
found
a
way
to
involve
themselves
with
the
school
or
in
the
classroom.
It's
a
very
welcoming
space
where
we
all
can
commune
and
get
to
know
one
another,
and
when
our
families
can
have
an
opportunity
to
work
hard
and
enjoy
the
fruits
of
our
labor.
This
is
my
son
roan.
B
He
is
a
rising
second
grader
p
and
I've
spent
many
many
days
in
the
garden
here
and
we
absolutely
love
this
guy.
What's
your
favorite
part
about
the
Garden,
Room
I,
don't
know
holding
Doris
the
hand
yeah,
he
loves
the
hands.
We
often
collect
eggs
in
the
morning
and
we
chart
them
and
we
look
over
a
chart
regularly
to
find
out
when
our
hens
are
laying
and
who's
laying,
because
they
all
a
different
color
to
eggs
and
there's.
C
C
Good
morning,
I'm
Kathleen
Griffin,
welcome
to
my
garden.
Looking
back,
I
realized
that
this
garden
sold
the
house
when
Bob
and
I
were
looking
for
a
one-level
house
in
an
established
neighborhood,
and
we
had
a
peek
at
the
garden.
In
the
back
we
had
to
have
the
house.
We
were
so
delighted
with
the
garden
and
I'm
still
delighted
with
it,
but
I
found
out
about
the
Master
Gardener
program
and
learned
that
it
was
an
opportunity
to
educate
myself
and
then
have
an
opportunity
to
volunteer
to
teach
others
in
Buncombe
County
about
good
gardening
practices.
C
I
decided
that
it
was
was
prompt
would
probably
be
a
pretty
good
fit.
The
Master
Gardener
tour
that
is
has
was
established
several
years
ago
to
raise
funds
for
the
Master
Gardener
school
grants
program.
Last
year,
19
schools
in
Buncombe
County
benefited
from
the
program.
All
these
children
are
from
all
ages
from
diverse
cultures,
all
levels
of
society,
and
they
love
that
they
love
learning
to
garden.
It's
a
joy
to
see
them
to
see
them
there
with
their
chickens,
sir
they're
selling
their
seeds
and
pulling
weeds.
A
Welcome
to
my
garden,
I'm
Mary,
fairly
I'm,
a
volunteer
at
Buncombe
County,
Extension
Office
as
a
master
gardener,
and
my
garden
is
really
a
sentimental
garden.
I
feel
like
I
spent
a
lot
of
my
childhood
in
gardens
and
the
second
that
I
got
this
house
and
I
had
my
little
children
and
I.
Had
this
big
yard,
I
have
been
working
to
sort
of
recreate
a
lot
of
the
beautiful
gardens
that
I
knew
from
my
father
and
mother
and
relatives
over
in
Alabama,
and
it's
a
passion
for
me.
A
I
love
it
I
have
a
little
bit
of
everything.
I
can't
just
concentrate
on
one
type
of
gardening:
I've
got
a
vegetable
garden,
I
love
to
grow
flowers,
I've
got
different
kinds
of
berries
and
I
have
become
a
beekeeper
in
the
last
few
years,
so
as
I
garden,
I
really
concentrate
and
think
about
the
pollinators,
the
bees
and
other
pollinators
in
our
area.
So
I
try
to
plant
with
them
in
mind.
Another
fabulous
thing
about
gardening
is
sharing
I
like
to
share
plants
with
people.

Hi
there
welcome
to
the
Beaufort
house
and
I'm
Christina
muth
and
with
my
husband
Jim,
were
the
owners
of
this
in
and
this
historic
property
in
Asheville
North
Carolina
love
to
introduce
you
to
our
gardens
today,
mostly
because
they
have
a
strong
historic
nature.
The
house
was
built
in
1894
and
a
lot
of
the
gardens
were
incorporated,
then
especially
some
of
the
old
trees.
Some
of
the
highlights
of
the
end
on
the
property
for
our
guests.

Hi
welcome
to
the
gene
and
Dharma
raised
bed
garden,
we're
standing
in
the
middle
of
80
raised
beds.
These
are
six
inches
I'd.
Most
of
them
are
four
feet
by
four
feet.
We
got
into
this
business
three
years
ago,
raising
vegetables
for
our
local
church
about
twenty
percent
of
the
people
in
this
county
are
hungry
on
any
given
day,
and
so
we
wanted
to
help.
This
is
what
we've
done.
Storm
has
taught
me
more
about
raised
bed
gardening
than
in
the
master
gardeners,
but
still
I've
learned
a
lot
there
too.
F
Welcome
to
the
1889
white
gay
tenon
cottage,
my
name
is
Ralph
coffee
and
I
am
the
gardener
here.
Frank
my
partner
and
I
bought
the
business
about
15
years
ago
and
decided
to
create
the
gardens
is
sort
of
a
niche
for
our
bed
and
breakfast.
So
what
I've
done
over
the
last
15
years
is
create
a
garden
based
on
winter
interest
and
how
that
came
about
is
that
our
guests
expect
our
gardens
to
look
great
year-round.
F
So
if
you
create
a
garden
based
on
winter
that
it's
going
to
look
great
year-round,
it
also
leads
you
toward
my
favorite
types
of
plants
which
are
conifers
and
Japanese
maples.
We
have
about
70
different
varieties
of
conifers
in
the
gardens
and
about
twenty
three
different
Japanese
maples.
The
gardens
are
really
based
on
self
seating
as
well.
I
have
a
lot
of
plants
here
that
pop
up
from
year
to
year,
different
places,
I
move
them
around.
F
I'll,
probably
spend
as
much
time
now
taking
plants
out
moving
things
around
as
I
do
putting
in
new
plants,
but
there's
always
room
for
one
more
plant
and
mother
nature
tends
to
create
opportunities
for
us.
This
past
January,
we
lost
two
huge
sugar
maples
that
were
declining
so
now.
I
have
areas
in
the
garden
that
gone
from
part
shade
to
full
size.
So
it
does
create
another
opportunity
for
new
plants.
What
I
love
about
gardens
like
this?
