About
Garden
Garden, located between Franklin Boulevard and the South Fork Catawba River, is a residential and civic Gastonia neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and leafy park edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Franklin Blvd corridor near the Gastonia Farmers Market, where produce stalls, small food counters, and weekday errands set a steady rhythm. Nearby, the Schiele Museum of Natural History & Planetarium anchors local culture with hands-on exhibits and a wooded campus. Lineberger Park adds ballfields, walking loops, and shaded lawns that shape daily routines. Housing trends toward brick one-stories and tidy lots, with pockets of older cottages closer to downtown. Greenway access along the river gives the area a grounded, outdoors-forward feel.
