Smith-Trahern Mansion project
The Smith-Trahern Mansion is a beautiful and historic site overlooking the Cumberland River in downtown Clarksville. Used for weddings, meetings and guided tours, it features period appropriate garden beds.
Since the 1990's, when a Master Gardener saw the need for gardens at the mansion, which the city didn’t provide, the Montgomery County Master Gardener's Association took on the project. Our goal is to keep a neat and orderly garden entrance to the mansion, while enjoying the site with other fellow Master Gardeners.
How to Contribute to this Project
Reach out to the project chair to find out about the next project meeting. This project consists of maintaining perennial plants (trimming, dividing, weeding), but we also plant Zinnia flower seeds and other annual plants in the planters.
What You will Learn
General gardening knowledge on how to care for perennial an annual plants. You will be able to familiarize with the types of plants at the garden, and best of all you will do this while enjoying a beautiful setting and the company of other Master Gardeners.
