The Gardener's Cottage

Yes, sometimes this shop is busy - because it is a rare find! I feel lucky to have found this store shortly after I moved to AVL. TGC has some of the most beautiful gardening items and gifts. I've purchased their pottery mostly. It is exceptional! As for prices, I think they are fair. If you want cheap, throw-away items, no you won't find them here. But if you seek quality that lasts - combined with unparalleled beauty, you will be happy in this store.

My daughter in Massachusetts wanted to send me flowers for my 80th birthday. She explored several florists and chose the Gardner's Cottage from the website. She called and told them that the flowers needed to be birthday flowers and not Christmas, and they went out of their way to find just what she wanted and had them delivered. They were by far the best flowers I have received in this town, and I was so appreciative!

My wedding bouquet was gorgeous! I walked in one day and met Sarah and talked to her about doing our wedding (elopement) flowers. When I got home I sent her pictures of what I liked and my bouquet was PERFECT!! Sarah, Libby and I communicated via email and in person and everything was very easy!

You feel like you’ve walked into a room in Heaven when you walk into this shop❤ufe0f. Libby has such an artistic eye, displaying gift items and botanicals with such elegance, beauty and a graceful savoir-faire. Several things from this shop have made my home more beautiful and expressive of love and life. Libby and her talented staff help me create my space in this world as I want it to be. Thank you! It’s always a joy to come in. ud83dude4fud83cudffb❤ufe0f

I visit this store each time we have the opportunity to visit Asheville. This is one of my favorite spots to find unique souvenirs and gifts. It always smells amazing from their candles, it’s beautifully decorated on the outside with the flowers, plants and garden, and the staff is always so pleasant and helpful. They package my fragile items so carefully for the drive home. This is a must see when in or near Asheville.
