Welcome to shortmeadow
shortmeadow is an urban native wildflower sanctuary nestled within East Nashville's Historic Edgefield Neighborhood.
It is a private home garden, occasionally opening its gates to the neighborhood for visits. Sitting behind a historic Victorian home built in 1898, this small urban backyard has been thoughtfully transformed into an emerging native wildflower haven. Here, weathered brick, mature shade trees, and native plantings harmoniously come together to welcome pollinators, birds, and neighbors alike—revealing the vibrant beauty possible even on a typical urban lot.
Future Openings
We hope to open our garden periodically to the public by the middle of 2026. Visitors will experience a lovely emerging native wildflower garden, which will take another 2-3 years to fully establish.
In the meantime, if you are going to be in the Historic Edgefield neighborhood and would like a tour, please reach out to us via the contact form to see if something can be scheduled.
