The Urban Agrarian Sculpture Garden
Table of contents
Welcome to our site! We are a small cooperative garden in Weaverville, North Carolina, nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. This site tells how we are organizing and managing our project.
The founding member and inspiration for The Urban Agrarian is Jody, who has dedicated her entire backyard (about 6,000 sf) to this project. Jody's vision was to create a sculpture garden within an edible landscape that she and her friends build and tend together, both for the joy of fresh organic food and for cultivating community. In this spirit, we strive to use local and recycled products as much as possible, including buying locally grown food that we are not producing ourselves. We estimate that our garden will produce enough edibles for 8-10 people for a year, which makes it especially good for single adults and couples. Everyone who has committed to this project shares the expenses and labor, as well as the delicious rewards. While this is not a public community garden, we hope that it can one day be a model for others who would like to start a similar small-scale project.
Our garden began in February 2008, so we are still learning and adding resources here. Please browse and enjoy as we create our new living space. And, watch for beautiful artwork (made by Jody and other local artists) that will spring up in the garden from time to time.

I enjoyed reading your Blog and checking out your pictures. Have you checked out www.gardenasheville.com? It's really new and you could put your web site info on it. I wished that there had been more time to talk to you at Randy's talk. Best wishes on your community gardening.
