Native Garden at Downtown Library

The Downtown Library's Native Oasis

Brought to you by Lyndhurst Foundation, Thrive Regional Partnership, Reflection Riding, Thriving Gardens, and WMWA Landscape Architects.  

Visit our Downtown Library to experience the beauty of Tennessee’s native plants and experience a Walk Through History, featuring plant stories and folk cures from our Local History & Genealogy Department! 

For centuries, people have used native plants for food, medicine, and everday items. This space connects our community’s history to the beauty of native plants. The stories and facts you’ll find during your journey come from resources you can explore in the Local History & Genealogy Department, located on our 3rd Floor.

Check out our gallery below for some of the 600+ plants and over 24 species you’ll find in our native garden. Photos by Matt Whitaker, founder of WMWA Landscape Architects.
