"I don't say this often, but this organization speaks to the needs of this city right now. Increasing graduation rates is a number one goal of mine. We need to focus on that. Martha O'Bryan does that. It's a wonderful organization. So as we celebrate being one of the best cities in America, remember - our strength comes from taking care of those most in need." ~ Mayor Karl Dean

The East Nashvillian is a free magazine created specifically for the neighbors, patrons and visitors of East Nashville. It is designed to bring you stories about the events, people, businesses and places that made Southern Living name East Nashville as one of "The South's Best Comeback Neighborhoods". 

We were fortunate to have our work featured in the March/April issue!

 

The design utilized principles of universal design and includes: (19) raised vegetable gardens, council house with solar panels, water harvesting, permeable pavers, rain gardens, certified wildlife habitat, green house with hydroponic systems, educational signage, weather station, human sundial, and more.

The project has received both local and national press and has already begun implementation. Donations are needed to help push this unique project to completion and can be made on their website.
