One of our first tree planting in Nashville TN was at Ravenwood Park.
Our Approach
A beautiful day planting trees!
March 10 2019, with over 50 volunteers we planted 168 big trees.
The Cumberland River Compact provided over 250 trees and the equipment as part of the Root Nashville campaign.
If you are visiting Music City
check your local tree organizations when you return home.
Make Time
Planting trees is creating lasting, living memories for yourself, your family and friends.
Our Story
Tree Garden Project
The beginning
Preparing The enclosure
Re-used wire fence to protect the trees from deer. Pulled out grass covered top layer.
Digging and Planting
Young trees are easy to plant. Dig deep and wide enough for the roots to stretch. Break down the dirt and mix with compost.
Young Trees in gutter tubing
With a little help from our awesome friend. Tubing keeps trees safe from weedwackers.
Great exercise and fun. Makes us happy. Don't forget to water. Young Trees need a lot of care in the first year.
Three months later!
From the other side
5-1/2 months later the tree garden is filling up!
Facing West. The young trees are now taller than us!
Of all the Nashville TN tree planting we have done this year this is the most successful. Trees enjoy the morning sun and are shaded in the afternoon. NATURE IS AMAZING!!!
There is more
The source of all our products and services is a functioning ecosystem. Our economics only values products and services; whereas the ecosystem is, in fact, more valuable. Without a healthy ecosystem there is no sustainable life. With our knowledge of permaculture, devastated ecosystems such as deserts can be restored.
