Opportunity Details
Green Alley- Rain Garden Planting
The Mayor’s Office of Neighborhoods and Impact Nashville, Hands On Nashville, and Cumberland River Compact are partnering with community leaders to plant FREE rain gardens along residential alleys in the Nations. The purpose of the Green Alley project is to reduce the pollution traveling from the land into Richland Creek, improve alleys in the Nations to be more walkable and safe, and to create a model of citizen-led water stewardship.
Rain Gardens are a natural and beautiful way to reduce and clean storm water. They are shallow, depressed gardens designed to collect rain water and allow it time to filter into the ground. This results in cleaner water, less water entering our storm systems and more water refilling the underground water table that keeps small streams flowing during the dry summer months. If you have been wanting a rain garden of your own, this is a great opportunity to learn how to build one!
No experience is necessary, as our enthusiastic and skilled team will guide you along the way. All you need is a willingness to learn and work hard!
Volunteers are needed to:
Excavate the site (dig a big hole)
Build a berm (move the dirt around)
Plant flowers
Mulch the garden
