Peace Gardens & Market

Peace Gardens & Market The Peace Gardens are a destination where community is built. Building on the agricultural and entrepreneurial legacy of E.W.

Located in the Burton Street Community of West Asheville, we are an eclectic collection of gardens, art, and related items...a place to find plants, produce, Black history, inspiration, and a deeper connection. Pearson, the founder of the historically African American Burton Street Community were the gardens are located, we have cultivated a creative commons focused on art, environmental stewardsh

ip, and social enterprise. The gardens are home to vegetable beds, native plants, multiple art installations, performance areas, a library/classroom, outdoor oven, greenhouse, micro-store, maker spaces, and more. The space has given birth to multiple enterprises, including local businesses and non-profits. We believe that a thriving community depends on all of us, so we engage youth, elders, neighbors, and visitors in the mission of creating a culture of sustainability that's inclusive and just.
