Cultivating Beauty, Connection and a Regenerative Future

With increasing awareness of the need for sustainable living, Healing Roots Design is doing more than going green; they are regenerating landscapes and lives. This woman-owned, permaculture-based design firm offers much more than landscaping. Started by Keri Evjy, Healing Roots Design provides thoughtful, transformative outdoor experiences that heal the land.

At Healing Roots Design, the mission is clear: to design spaces that are not only beautiful but also deeply in harmony with nature and the people who call these places home. 

Their approach goes beyond being eco-conscious; it is regenerative. Every project is designed to actively improve and revitalize the land. Their services are deeply rooted in permaculture principles, offering landscapes that are organic, nontoxic and inherently low maintenance, saving clients time, money and stress in the long run.

“We work for the betterment of the Earth itself,” says founder Keri, who leads each land consultation with both expertise and empathy. 

Reimagine your outdoor space with striking designs. Whether you dream of a backyard sanctuary, a pollinator-friendly garden or a full-scale transformation of your property, Healing Roots Design offers the knowledge, creativity and care to bring that vision to life, naturally.

Building Confidence Through Dance

For more than 45 years, owner Michele Lee of Center Stage Dance Studio has helped dancers of all ages grow in skill, confidence and character. Located on Rosscraggon Road, the studio offers a nurturing environment where every student is encouraged to perform at their personal best while maintaining a positive self-image.

Center Stage believes that ballet is the foundation of all dance and supports well-rounded training across multiple styles, including jazz, tap, lyrical, hip-hop, modern, contemporary and acrobatics. Classes are available for ages 2–18, with adult classes also offered for those looking to move, learn and connect.

More than just a dance studio, Center Stage is a community. Their mission is to help shape creative, kind and responsible dancers who carry those values beyond the studio. Many Biltmore Park families are already part of the Center Stage community, including the Briggs, Beck, Blackman, Bilbray, Paynich, Hubbard and Messer families.

Whether your child is trying dance for the first time or you’re ready to return to the studio yourself, Center Stage welcomes you to come experience the joy of movement and the power of dance.
