When you live in Buncombe County, you’ll find that it’s extremely difficult to separate from all that nature has to offer. This is particularly true for those who enjoy gardening who are starting - already - to look towards spring when they can plant and tend to their gardens to enhance that beauty even more.

Those of you who live in Buncombe County know that there’s more to capturing that beauty than just gardening. That’s why so many look to The Gardener’s Cottage in Biltmore Village:

(source)“We try to bring the outdoors in, but it’s a home and garden décor shop.”

Set in a historic brick structure, which, like a lot of Biltmore Village shops, used to be a home, the shop rambles from one room to the other, even to the upstairs. Tables spill over with statuary, topiary, stemware, urns and fresh flowers.

Inspiration comes in many forms. For some, fresh cut flowers from the store are a great complement to the dining table when they are entertaining friends. For others, guides that help them to learn more about native wildflowers and forcing bulbs leave then thinking that the best inspiration comes from nature itself and bringing it indoors just doesn’t quite feel right.

Whichever side of that coin you’re on, the good news is that there’s color, beauty and joy to be found - but then, for many that often just comes from living in Buncombe County.
