Around The Garden World - Day 58 (Asheville, NC)

passionflower - Passiflora 
A couple of years ago I was in Asheville, NC, for a garden bloggers meeting. One of the places that we  were supposed to visit was the White Gate Inn. I was a quite curious as to why we were going to this bed and breakfast place as part of our tour. 
 It didn't take me long to figure out why we needed to see this place.
