We've watched Asheville grow into the beautiful city it is today and complete with a Botanical Gardens and Arboretum. Both of which we visited on our way out of town Thursday. Here are some of my favorite plant settings. How great it was to see so many of the plants we sell here at GreenwoodNursery.com used in the arboretum garden and botanical garden landscapes.
