About the Company

Anna Timmerman, the Chief Shoveler at Gardens of Eatin Landscaping, brings decades of experience to Asheville with a deep-rooted passion for the earth. Her journey began in small-scale organic agriculture, focusing on permaculture principles and a commitment to local, sustainable food systems. This evolved into a personal homesteading practice, which inspired her mission to help others achieve self-sufficiency and beauty in their own backyards. Anna now combines her expertise to design and implement holistic, edible landscapes that serve as both personal paradises and regenerative ecosystems. At Gardens of Eatin, we view nature as a canvas, blending awe-inspiring beauty with practical, ecologically sound solutions. We specialize in creating integrated gardens of fruits, herbs, and ornamentals, providing full-service permaculture-based design, installation, and maintenance for Asheville area homeowners.

Questions and Answers

As an Asheville homeowner dealing with lawn insect damage and weeds, how does your permaculture approach help?

Our permaculture designs directly address these common Asheville issues by building healthier, more resilient ecosystems. Instead of relying on chemical treatments, we focus on creating balanced landscapes. This includes selecting native and beneficial plants that naturally deter pests, improving soil health to strengthen grass and plants against infestation, and implementing companion planting strategies that suppress weeds. By fostering a thriving, diverse garden environment, we help your property better manage these challenges naturally over the long term, reducing the need for reactive treatments.

What does a 'holistic edible garden' design from Gardens of Eatin typically include?

Our holistic edible gardens are designed as integrated, productive ecosystems for your Asheville property. A typical design beautifully combines fruit trees and berry bushes with culinary herbs and ornamental flowering plants. We plan the layout using permaculture principles to ensure plants support each other—for instance, using certain flowers to attract pollinators for your fruit trees or aromatic herbs to deter pests. The design often incorporates functional elements like patios, walkways, and retaining walls, creating accessible, beautiful spaces where you can harvest food, enjoy nature, and relax, all within a sustainable framework.

Do you handle hardscaping projects like patios and retaining walls, or just the planting?

Yes, we provide complete landscape construction and installation. Our services cover the full spectrum, from the initial permaculture design to the final planting. This includes constructing patios, porches, walkways, driveways, and both interior and exterior retaining walls. We view hardscaping as an essential part of the holistic design, creating structure, accessibility, and defined spaces within your edible landscape. Our team manages the entire process, ensuring the construction complements the ecological goals and plant selections of your garden for a cohesive and functional outdoor living area.
