🌱 Grow Crazy! MountainTrue’s ONLINE Spring Native Plant Sale is coming soon—mark your calendar so you can dig in before your top picks vanish! The online sale opens at 9 am on March 1st. Sign up to be notified when the sale goes live.

From native trees and shrubs to pollinator-friendly blooms and wildlife-loving plants, we’ve got the goodies your garden (and the critters) will love. All plants come from our friends at Carolina Native Nursery, grown with care just for you.

Orders will be accepted from March 1st through March 31st, while supplies last. You must pay for the order at the time you submit it in order to secure your species and size of choice. Then, pick up your order in Asheville, NC at Oteen Baptist Church on Tuesday, April 14th, between 3 pm and 6 pm.

Orders MUST be picked up on Tuesday, April 14th unless, due to exceptional circumstances, other arrangements are made PRIOR to placing the order by contacting amy@mountaintrue.org.

Native shrubs and perennials are a vital component of healthy streams and lakes. They help prevent erosion, filter pollution from runoff, and provide food and shelter for wildlife. MountainTrue staff and volunteers spend significant time and resources removing nonnative invasive plants along streams and lake shorelines to protect water quality and ensure that the native vegetation stays healthy.

Plants that are found here inspire a “sense of place” and pride in our mountain communities and promote wise stewardship and conservation of natural resources.

Join us in this hands on class where you will make a hammered sterling silver wide band ring. One of Ignite's fabulous instructors will take you through the process step by step including soldering, shaping, hammering, and finishing your ring.

You'll leave with a beautiful ring made to size in our downtown Asheville metalsmithing studio.

Queers and horror have always gone hand in manicured hand. We know what it means to be made into a monster, all while navigating the true life terrors of conversion therapy and gender reveal parties. This queer horror book club explores queerness from the magic to the truly macabre. This month Kelsey Day hands us the key to a killer YA horror with The Spiral Key. (Use promo code YIKES to save 10% at checkout.)

"A twisting thriller, a visceral dissection of dead friendships, and an exploration of how desperation for acceptance can fester into something awful - I had a blast with this one."—Andrew Joseph White, author of previous book club pick You Weren't Meant to Be Human

Each meeting of this book club is structured to encourage deep engagement with the themes of the text, as well as facilitate connection among the participants. If you are looking to meet other queer people and/or horror lovers this is the book club for you!

For past book club title selections, check out our queer horror list.
