From Bare Ground to Blooming Gardens 🐝🦋🌱
Last fall, we funded a new project through our Nature Discovery Program: building native pollinator gardens at Antioch, Looby, and Hartman community centers.
The goal? Beautify urban spaces, create outdoor classrooms for youth, and provide much-needed habitat for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators—all while strengthening biodiversity across Nashville.
With the help of volunteers, students, and neighbors, we prepped sites in the fall, planted natives in the spring, and cared for them through the summer.
Today, less than a year later, these once-empty spaces are buzzing with life—colorful blooms, busy pollinators, and kids learning right in their own communities.
🌼 These gardens show what’s possible when we come together to care for the land, our youth, and our shared future.
