Join us on August 29th through September 1st for the 2025 NC Apple Festival in downtown Hendersonville, North Carolina, for a fun-filled celebration of apples, local culture, and community spirit. Whether you’re here for the delicious apple-inspired treats, the exciting street fair, or the family-friendly activities, there’s something for everyone!
We’re thrilled to bring together over 250,000 visitors each year to celebrate the rich heritage of Henderson County’s apple-growing tradition. From the vibrant parade to live music, and of course, the best apples around, the festival is a one-of-a-kind experience you won’t want to miss!
We can’t wait to see you at the NC Apple Festival, where community, family, and fun come together in the heart of Hendersonville.
Did you miss our first Awe Walk on Sunday, August 4? Our next walk will be Sunday September 7th from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and we will continue to meet on the first Sunday of each month for the following two months (last day is November 2 – don’t forget to turn your clocks back the night before!). The walks will begin at the Garden Entry at Hatcher Garden, located beside the Jess Taylor Pavilion, and will move about the garden to experience the feeling of awe in nature.
Each month, we’ll explore one of the five key processes associated with the experience of awe, which support overall well-being:
-
Shifts in neurophysiology
-
A diminished focus on the self
-
Increased prosocial behavior and relational connection
-
Greater sense of social integration
-
A heightened sense of meaning
Led by Executive Director Dan Shook and his wife and yoga instructor Kristin Shook, each walk will offer time for reflection, connection with nature, and insights into how the Garden supports these powerful emotional and psychological benefits.
Come walk with us—and discover the wonder.
Stroll through the spellbinding autumn beauty of the garden while enjoying curated tastings from Spartanburg’s distinguished chefs and breweries as they compete for top culinary honors.
Celebrate nature’s autumnal splendor as Fall for Hatcher winds through the brand-new Sensory Path in the Children’s Garden—an immersive experience designed to delight your senses. Enjoy as we gather to enjoy bite-sized delights from local restaurants, craft brews from our region’s favorite breweries, and the good vibes, great company, and a mission that matters. Fall for Hatcher is the perfect time to socialize with old friends and make new ones!
Come see what’s new, feel the magic of the Garden, and celebrate the impact your support makes possible.
All proceeds benefit the continued growth and care of Hatcher Garden. So grab your tickets, bring a friend, and prepare for an unforgettable evening under the trees and in the Garden.
Tickets are only $75.00 per person.

Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve is hosting a symposium this autumn, which is the perfect time to plant for spring. The three 40-minute workshops will be led by local certified Master Gardeners. Jeannette Bull Robinson (who taught at our Inaugural Gardening Day back in May) will speak on Landscape Design; author and former board member Mary Snoddy will expound on the subject of Growing a Pollinator Garden; and finally Joyce Cooper Coggins will address the important issue of “Gardening Smarter. Not Harder”. Locations (Jess Taylor Pavilion, Overlook Terrace and the Activity Deck) and times of the individual workshops within the garden will be announced as the event draws near. Be prompt!
A donation based entry fee of $10.00 is suggested which benefits Hatcher Garden. You can attend one or all three workshops for $10.00! You can register online now or in person at 8:00 a.m on Saturday, September 27, the last day of our Fall Plant Sale.
Come join us on this informative Saturday morning.

Join The Greenville Jewish Film Festival for its latest Pop Up Movie to be shown at Camelot Cinemas!
The Ring focuses on Arnon Noble, a religious man with a strong bond to his mother, a Holocaust survivor. He usually drives her to school lectures where she tells the students how she saved the lives of her baby boy and herself with the help of a thin gold ring. When the mother’s health deteriorates, he travels to her old hometown, Budapest to search for the mythological ring that saved her life in the past.
He turns to his estranged daughter, who is a TV researcher, for help and invites her to share the journey. Will the search for the ring be successful? Will the ring save the mother’s life again and will the same ring that saved her mother also succeed in saving Arnon’s relationship with his own daughter?
Tickets can be purchased here. Adult tickets are $18, and student tickets are $14. Both include popcorn and a drink. Students can email [email protected] for a discount code.
