First Congregational Church Master Plan

The congregation purchased a sloped site to build a new church. Plan included entry plaza, memorial garden and ramp, labyrinth, playground, seating and site landscaping. Project was not built because congregation purchased an existing church in downtown Asheville. At the new church, a memorial garden was designed to replace an overgrown courtyard to create a new and usable space.
