Presenter: Andy Linville
March 5 at 5:30 pm
Pleasant Hill Community House
"Andy Linville, owner of OBED FOREST GARDENS, has been instrumental in educating and implementing natural processes which restore ecological dead-zones to spaces where wildlife can flourish and humans can marvel and cut way back on maintenance. He and team installed a meadow at Cumberland State Park, consulted with Uplands Village in 2023, to install a rain garden behind the Blue Barn to avert water erosion. Andy installs meadows throughout the county. Andy's power-point shows before and after photos, and describes the "Occulation" process anyone can do in any-sized space. Andy is a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University and lives in Oak Ridge.
