Our Mission
GROW Enrichment is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization based in Nashville, TN. As a community development partner, GROW seeks to increase sustainable land use in the urban setting. Through a partnership with Metro Nashville Parks Department, GROW operates a large project site at Two Rivers Park where we are applying permaculture methodology to engage the public in the process of restoring an urban green space. Our goal is to engage people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities as we teach restorative land management through hands-on experiences. Whether you attend an organized program with us, participate in a volunteer event, tour the site with a group, or meet us by chance while you are out enjoying the green-way; we hope you will find inspiration for your own ecological journey when you visit GROW!

What We've Achieved So Far
In 2018 alone, we planted over 700 trees on the property and engaged over 3,000 hours of volunteerism (largely related to invasive plant control and agroforestry).
In 2019 we held a Permaculture Action Day in collaboration with Deep Tropics and Permaculture Action Network where hundreds of volunteers gathered for a day of workshops, music, food, and community.
In 2020 we rescued over 500 oak trees for reforestation efforts around Tennessee after the devastating March tornado.
