Sow Nashville assists community gardens like this one in Paragon Mills in South Nashville.
Happy Earth Day! Today, we’re talking about green space. First, why is it important? Second, who has access to it? And finally, how can we make green space in our city more equitable?
To answer those questions, we’re joined by a city official, a professor, a tree activist and an affordable housing expert. But first, we’ll hear from WPLN Criminal Justice Reporter Samantha Max about the last minute decision to delay Oscar Smith’s execution on Thursday night.
