Peace Gardens & Market: growing gardens, cultivating community, and transforming trauma. Started by Safi Mahaba and DeWayne Barton in 2003 as a peaceful response to the war in Iraq and the war on drugs in the States, Peace Gardens & Market is a labor of love in the heart of the Burton Street Community in Asheville, NC. From its humble beginnings as an overgrown lot filled with discarded 40-ounce bottles, the Gardens are home to vegetable and flower gardening sites, performative stage area, fire pit, cob pizza oven, greenhouse, fresh produce market, and pavilion. Creating, maintaining, and connecting green spaces helps to absorb trauma in our community, and we welcome everyone to the Gardens. We host garden workdays every 1st & 3rd Saturday from 10am-2pm where any and all are welcome to join us in any number of other garden tasks. We also have a weekly Farmstand every Friday from 3pm-7pm! The gardens are open to the public year-round from dawn til dusk each day. Come by for a visit!
