Part garden sanctuary, part art gallery, and part creative space, Wamboldtopia is a tiny piece of heaven perched on a quiet, wooded hillside in the heart of one of West Asheville’s inspired neighborhoods. Whether inside the walls of the studio workshop or the pathways of the gardens, Wamboldtopia is a magical incubator for creative experiments and passions. It’s a place to practice the habit of leaping into new directions and risking new adventures…a place where the perfect imperfection of life is allowed to evolve and flourish in all its mystery.

Wise outdoor guardians, handsome doorway greeters, or simple nature spirits, extraordinary characters are abound throughout the garden, mysterious gargoyles and smiling skeletons grace the architecture of the unpretentious structures. TouchStones containing crystals, broken tombstones from Riverside Cemetery, salvaged fire hydrants and recycled metal sculptures, all are a demonstration of the joyful expression of creativity and love for life that Damaris and Ricki Pierce live out in their daily lives.
