Latest News from Still Spring Park
Did you know Greater Nashville UU owns 4+ acres of wooded land on our property that include a memorial garden, wooded trails, meditation area, and playground? Here are the latest happenings!
If able bring a wheelbarrow, garden wagon, or bucket. Gloves, a shovel, hat, and sunblock are recommended. We will clear out the mulch pile, moving it to landscaping areas in the breezeway, along garden trails and the remainder to the playground. We have rakes for those who prefer less strenuous activity. We will move two cement benches from the trail to the garden if time allows. Come for as much time as you are able. Happy gardening!
The next time you are on campus, please walk through the memorial garden to see all the new spring blossoms.
Many thanks to all those who helped with the GNUUC Spring Cleanup Work Day and exceptional potluck lunch on May 28. Twenty members working as individuals, pairs and groups cleaned, culled and organized the shed, trimmed most of the bushes around the Main Bldg and some grass along the parking lot, removed bamboo from our side of the fence, prepped the RE Building entry stairs for painting, put down mulch on some of the garden trails, removed poison hemlock and half the weeds/grass from the playground area, filled woodpecker holes on the gazebo and shed, cleaned and repainted one set of metal table/chairs near the gazebo and degreased most of the kitchen walls and appliances. For those items not completed, additional action items will be posted on the Action Board for later completion when volunteers feel the urge. Thanks to the following hard-working attendees: Jane S, Jane W, Sandy, Larry, Jon, Brandy, Cody, Nat, Kristin, Mirabelle, Theresa, Wayne, Mike, Elizabeth, Gene, Denise, Steve, Bonnie, Carol, and Dan!
Join us this Sunday, May 28, for a few hours to spruce up our campus and enjoy a communal potluck lunch. This event is in leu of a Sunday service.
B&G Work Day: We are so happy to have Carol and Dan L. as our new B&G chairs and they have some volunteer projects for us!
Come anytime on Sunday 8:30 AM - noon and pick a volunteer task. If you are an early birder and show up at 8:30 AM, Nathanael will lead us in a short opening meditation.
It looks like it’s going to be a nice but cool day. Wear your work clothes, and bring work gloves and gardening tools if you have them. We will be concentrating on trimming shrubbery, weeding, mulching the garden trails, painting the outdoor furniture and cleaning out the shed…or does this seem too ambitious? We will have fun and enjoy each other’s company.
Potluck: The Potluck will be from noon - 1 PM.
We look forward to seeing you!
NO SUNDAY SERVICE THIS SUNDAY!
Blooms have arrived in the Still Spring Garden! The next time you visit the church, please take a few minutes to walk through the garden and see all the lovely blooms that have come up.
Nature is providing an excellent landscape for our annual Spring Celebration and Easter egg hunt on April 17, 2022.
Still Spring Memorial Garden
Visit the Still Spring Memorial Garden. Sit on one of the benches and listen to the birds while taking in the flowers and trees.
Still Spring Trail to Meditation Area
Hike the Still Spring Trail to our meditation area. The mediation area is a small clearing at the top of the hill with benches.
Playground
In Fall 2017 we installed a new playground! We love how the pieces fit into our natural environment. More importantly, we love to play!
