Project Community Roots
Hurricane Helene Relief In The High Country
The Mustard Seed has founded Project Community Roots to prepare and supply a crew to help those who are not going to get help quick enough. We're sending our private UTVs, landscape vehicles, work vans, and other tools with crews out to remote areas in surrounding towns who have experienced complete devastation.
Our focus will not be on reopening our business at this time; we feel it is our responsibility to help those who we have a personal connection with in our community and are unable to get the help they need due to inaccessible roadways, no infrastructure, and a lack of resources.
ALL funds will be donated personally and directly to local families in need.
SERVICES
At the Mustard Seed, we specialize in whole home design. Our team offers three different facets of design services to create, plan and implement your vision.
With over 31 years of experience in landscape, floral and interior design, you can trust our team of highly trained and creative individuals to help bring your vision to life.
​
We are blessed to be in the work that changes people's lives, and we hope to transition this joy into your home improvement experience.
MISSION

OUR STORY
In 1992, the Stewarts quit their corporate jobs, packed up their 5-month-old son and moved into a small trailer on the property that is now the Mustard Seed Market. For more than three decades, the Stewart's have cultivated one of the finest destination garden centers on the east coast. ​
​
We offer a beautiful selection of unique plants, design services, and inspiration for gardeners and non-gardeners alike. We aim to carry the finest plant material in the High Country as well as embellishments for homes and gardens. We expend much effort and energy caring for and maintaining our quality plants and educating you, our valued customer, in the proper care for your ultimate gardening success!​
Now on our 32nd season with two generations and two locations, the legacy continues.
