The Shiloh Community

Garden is on land donated to

the community association

and has a long history of

partnering with groups in our

community (UNCA, AB

Tech, Warren Wilson

College). A garden

committee meets on a regular

basis and conducts programs

in the garden and regularly

hosts volunteer groups.

100% of the food grown in the

Shiloh Community Garden is

made available, at no charge,

to Shiloh residents.
