BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (WTVF) — Brentwood City commissioners discussed the potential future of the unlicensed Brenthaven Arboretum during Thursday’s informational meeting.
Brentwood city managers told commissioners it would cost around $100,000 to bring the Brenthaven Arboretum up to code so that all could use it.
Brenthaven homeowners nearby turned that land into the arboretum without city leaders knowing about it.
“I'm actually pretty angry he put us in this situation. There was a great area, people enjoyed it and took it too far,” Commissioner Kim Smithson Gawrys said.
The city is working on an official report of their findings.
However, commissioners seemed in agreement to save money and give the Brenthaven residents time to remove whatever benches, signs and bridges are on the land, restoring the area back to what it was.
None of the trees will be removed.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
