Donnie Bryan - Wild Ones
He was a high school arts teacher in Alabama for twenty-seven years. He moved to Nashville sixteen years ago this summer and chaired the Visual and Performing Arts Department at Ensworth High School for ten years. Upon retiring five years ago, he went wholeheartedly into gardening with native plants. He built a large, terraced hillside garden with water features, bird and animal habitats, and pollinator favorites. He has a rain garden, a small pocket prairie, and a woodland garden. He is Vice-President of Middle Tennessee Wild Ones, assists in native plant rescues, and grows over four hundred plants for our spring and fall native plant sales. He put together a growing room to assist with growing from seed. His garden was featured on the local PBS show, The Volunteer Gardener, this past fall."
