The Cedar Creek Greenway Restoration Project began when Amy recognized that her neighborhood greenway was at risk of being overtaken by invasive plants. She now leads plant walks and volunteer workdays to remove invasives, support native species, and raise awareness about local ecological challenges.

Amy’s passion for plants began early, leading to a career in landscape design and a long-standing focus on Tennessee native plants. After returning to the field in Nashville, she expanded her work into environmental conservation, including her leadership of the Cedar Creek Greenway Restoration Project.

We’ll continue our popular Freebie/Swap Table, so if you have any native plants, seeds, nature-related books, or other treasures you wish to re-home, please bring them along.

Everyone is welcome!
