Adopt-a-Spot
In partnership with the City of Asheville, GreenWorks has launched a program for citizens to “adopt-a-spot” of public land, such as a small area of a park, a sidewalk “bulb out” or a section of greenway to maintain for three years. GreenWorks provides guidance and support for volunteers willing to put in the effort for taking care of a slice of their city.
Food Tree Project
The GreenWorks’ Food Tree Project establishes community orchards on public land throughout Asheville and Buncombe County.
To date, GreenWorks has organized community members and volunteers to plant six community orchards filled with fruit trees, berry bushes and pollinators. These orchards provide a source of locally-grown, fresh, healthy produce to communities, especially those that lack easy access to grocery stores.
Tree Nursery
In order to meet the demand for planting 800 native trees each year, GreenWorks is investing in our own native tree nursery adjacent to the Sand Hill Community Orchard on Buncombe County owned property. We plan to grow a supply of 2,000 trees, including paw paws and pollinators to plant throughout Buncombe County.
