Demonstration Garden

The Greenbrier Health Alliance has created a raised bed demonstration garden (by the Clingman Center) to help people learn about planting, nurturing, harvesting, gleaning, preserving, composting, and much more; it supports the Alliance's commitment to Waste Not, Want Not. 

 

This special garden – planted and tended by Tommye Rafes, owner and operator of T.L. Fruits & Vegetables, LLC –  is the perfect in-town environment to teach people how to grow their own food even if they don't have space for a large garden.  Come to the gardening class that Tommye offers every Saturday morning during the April - October growing season.  The Demonstration Garden page provides additional information.

​

Native Plants

Over 50 species of native plants have been used in landscaping around the parking areas, buildings, and the Meadow area.  Many of the plants are marked with small signs which identify the species.
