Biodiversity is on display in Paul’s backyard, with over 100 species of native plants from 20 different plant families. 95 percent of the plants in the backyard are native plants, right at Doug Tallamy’s threshold for the replacement of song bird populations. The front and side yards feature specimen or demonstration gardens showing what can be done with native plants in smaller spaces. While Paul has included some non-native ornamental plants in these gardens, 80 percent of the species are native to Tennessee, within the margin of error for bird replacement. From ground cover to canopy, Paul has attempted to create a certified wildlife habitat.

Paul’s home is in south Nashville between I-65 and Nolensville Road. Address information will be sent to registrants.
