Quilt garden at North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville


Quilt garden at North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville. From their website: "The Quilt Garden, located near the Heritage Garden is a unique interpretation of traditional quilt block patterns with plants, representing the close ties between heritage crafts and gardening and the contemporary art and craft of quilting in the Southern Appalachian region. Designs in the quilt garden change seasonally ~ each quilt pattern appears in several iterations. The garden consists of 24 in-ground beds divided by gravel and slate foot path walkways. Visitors enjoy exploring the gardens up close via the path walkways as well as from an observation area that provides a stunning overview of the entire garden. The quilt pattern theme for the 2010 season is "Circle within Circle," featuring graceful, arching lines that translate well in floral motifs. The design reflects the Arboretum's circle of friends, supporters and visitors - past and future - who help make the Arboretum a unique experience where connections between plants and people cultivated every day!"
