Green Linnet
Farmer
About
Linnet Overton has been growing cut flowers on her small urban garden farm in Nashville since 2010. Inspired by international approaches to micro farming, such as My Luscious Backyard in Toronto, she developed Green Linnet in 2019 to expand her growing space into back yards and gardens of neighbors across Davidson county. These Green Linnet Gardens provide Linnet space for producing the numerous locally grown blooms that make up her custom floral designs and seasonal mixed bouquets.
