Caroll Marrero decided just after a 500-year flood in Nashville TN washed away a lot of natural resources off her steep hillside backyard that not one more pebble nor one more ounce of dirt was going to wash away. She sought advice from experts to incorporate remediation projects into her backyard hillside garden to manage the flow of storm water.
Sheri Gramer tours the many garden beds of an avid gardener who is happy to admit that she's always learning. We see a butterfly garden, a vegetable garden, a large ornamental garden featuring a babbling brook. All these garden beds benefit from a breathtaking mountain top view.
Designing, selecting and evaluating-that's the job Troy Marden had for a new garden that would complement a lot on a mountain top. Join Troy for the process of starting with the existing mature trees and then adding perennials, wildflowers, shrubs and trees to maximize the site.
We tour an urban garden that is growing food, flowers, and relationships. This Wedgewood Urban Garden serves international residents in the community who come from an agrarian background, neighborhood residents, and the hungry of the community at large through The Nashville Food Project.
Troy Marden explores this land that was donated to the city of Chattanooga by nature lovers. It is dedicated to the study and conservation of native plant life. For the visitor, it offers miles of walking trails, picturesque vistas and a peaceful green space.
