Abstract:

Craggy Gardens, said to be the largest and loftiest flower gardens in the world, are to become predominant background for western North Carolina future rhododendron festivals. Craggy Gardens is semi-public property, belonging to the United States government and the city of Asheville. While Craggy Gardens have been a mecca for many years for hardy beauty lovers who could scale the deep heights of Craggy Dome, it was not until 1933 that a motor road to the crest allowed more visitors to enjoy the flowers and the view.
