Can you give more details? Is this the area called Arboretum in Charlotte? If so its not far from me!

This Arboretum is just south of Asheville, literally the corner of Rt. 191 and the Blue Ridge Parkway!

Hmmm - couldn't find 191 in the atlas. I have a daughter that lives in Hendersonville. Maybe?

I'm game to get a group of NC quilters to go together. I live about 1/2 hour from the Arboretum. They plant a quilt garden each year in a different block. They have several squares of earth that are planted as blocks, with an observation area above. Oh My, it is quite a place.
Blessings.

Rt 191 is called Haywood Road in Hendersonville, where I live!
She'll know how toget there! The Parkway is an easy landmark.

I think I've been there. But it was in the spring before the quilt garden was planted.

I haven't seen the quilt garden, just the "garden of earthly delights" when the NC quilters bring their beautiful things to the show... :D
