Many trees and plants are labeled and there are several information sessions and tours that explain the local plants grown and how to maintain them. There is also a local plant sale every year that teaches about what grows well in Nashville and how to continue to make our local environment thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2513 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?resize=451%2C344&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"451\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?resize=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?resize=768%2C587&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?resize=1024%2C783&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?resize=560%2C428&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?resize=80%2C61&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?resize=600%2C459&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/fullsizeoutput_1d57.jpeg?w=2670&amp;ssl=1 2670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5.
