About Us

 A group of Black Mountain residents initiated the Black Mountain  Beautification Committee in 2000 with the goal of improving the aesthetics of our community. As a non-profit organization, we exist  solely by the support of community volunteers, private donations and the  Town of Black Mountain of North Carolina.   

The people of Black Mountain possess a cherished tradition of honoring the  natural beauty of the surrounding mountains, all the while seeking to  reflect that beauty on the streets and in the lives of its citizens.    

Our Committee strives to maintain and nurture the town gardens, green areas and also to establish more natural gardens in  designated open areas. We work with town groups to realize  this vision of Black Mountain as a hospitable and scenic mountain  community.

 Our monthly committee meetings are held at St. James Episcopal Church on the third Tuesday at 5:30 pm which are open to the public.  We get a lot done and have fun too. 

 Curious to what we do around town?   Annually we report to the Town Council and Mayor Harris and highlight our progress throughout the year plus give them a rundown of our upcoming special projects.  The video is on the town website.   We love Black Mountain and it shows!
