Plant Savvy plant installation in Berry Hill and Wedgewood-Houston Nashville.

Our work here

Framework, WeHo — full design, installation and maintenance, interior and exterior. We do the same at their East location.

Berry Hill, which is its own city

Berry Hill incorporated on 28 February 1950 by a vote of 138 to 135, the first community in Davidson County to incorporate since Belle Meade in 1938, and kept its municipal status through the 1963 Metro consolidation. It covers 0.91 square miles with a 2020 population of 2,112 and runs its own police and public works departments under three commissioners and a city manager.

Wedgewood-Houston, which was a mill district

May Hosiery Mills is 175,000 square feet on four acres, built in 1908 and adaptively reused in 2015 — now Class A office, retail, restaurants and Soho House Nashville. Hermès opened an 8,500 square foot boutique there, its first store in Tennessee.

Berry Hill is a neighborhood of houses doing office work

The building stock is small residential structures converted to commercial use, which is why the district earned the nickname Music Hill after Buzz Cason established Creative Workshop there in 1970. Blackbird Studio at 2806 Azalea Place followed the same pattern — bought in January 2002, three million dollars invested, nine studios by 2015.

For planting, a converted house means residential-scale rooms, punched windows, low ceilings and no service lift. It also means genuinely good light in the front rooms and almost none in the back, and a plant list that has to acknowledge both.

Berry Hill's demographics tell you who works there: an ACS median age of 28.7, 80.7% holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and 34.8% of residents having moved within the past year — more than double the national rate. This is a young, high-churn district, and churn is hard on plants, because furniture moves and nobody remembers where the plant was supposed to stand.

WeHo is the opposite building problem

Adaptive reuse at scale. Nashville Warehouse Co. delivered 200,000 square feet of Class A office in 2022 with an acre of communal green space. T3 Wedgewood Houston is a 200,000 square foot heavy-timber office and retail building anchoring The Finery, a campus exceeding 700,000 square feet. Wedgewood Village delivered in 2025 with six buildings — 148,000 square feet of Class A office, thirty-plus retail storefronts, 35,000 square feet of restaurants and bars, over 400 apartments, a restored Merritt Mansion and a two-acre lawn.

Reused industrial buildings have the best raw conditions we work with: tall ceilings, large original openings, and enough volume for specimens that would look absurd anywhere else. They also have the worst dust, the biggest temperature swings near single-glazed steel sash, and mechanical systems retrofitted long after the walls went up. The specimens can be dramatic. The placement has to be careful.

The neighborhood plan is on your side

Metro adopted the Wedgewood-Houston/Chestnut Hill Planning Study on 24 October 2019, prioritising "preservation of light industrial jobs and expansion of urban manufacturing," with the district's Urban Design Overlay taking effect on 8 June 2021. Nothing in either governs interior planting, but both explain why the ground floors here are workshops, galleries and restaurants rather than lobbies — and why the WeHo First Saturday Art Crawl still fills them.

Restaurants and galleries need different things

Gallery space wants planting that does not compete with the work: quiet, architectural, placed at thresholds rather than in sightlines. Restaurant space wants durability — grease-tolerant leaf surfaces, heavy vessels, nothing in the service path, and no staff watering. We run both at Framework's two locations, interiors and exteriors.

On-site consultation

We walk the space, read the light, and talk through how the room gets used before anything is specified.

Custom plant design

Plant and vessel selection matched to your brand, your light, and the way the space needs to feel.

Delivery and install

Our team pots, places, and cleans up, and leaves care notes for anything you handle yourself.

Ongoing maintenance

Watering, fertilizing, pruning, rotation, and pest treatment on a set schedule, including swapping out anything that stops thriving.

How a project runs

01

Consultation on site

We come look at the space, take light readings, and scope it.

02

Design proposal

Plant and vessel selections with placements and a quote.

03

Install day

Sourced, potted, delivered, placed. Usually one visit.

04

Care route

Recurring maintenance visits on your schedule.

I never have to worry about under or over watering. They make sure everything stays healthy, dust the plants, and keep them looking beautiful and thriving year round.

Plant Savvy is the third vendor I have had at our hotel in three years, and Savannah and her team are the only vendor that truly saw our needs and put our ideas into action.

Frequently asked questions

Do you already work in WeHo?

Yes. Framework's WeHo location is our design, installation and maintenance, inside and out, as is their East location.

Our building is a converted mill with twenty-foot ceilings. What fits?

Larger specimens than almost anywhere else in Nashville — that is the pleasure of these buildings. The care is in placement: away from single-glazed sash where winter temperatures swing, and away from the dust that reused industrial buildings generate.

Berry Hill is its own city. Does that change anything for us?

Not for interior planting. It matters for your permits and signage, not your plants.

How often would you visit?

Weekly or biweekly. In a high-churn creative office, weekly is usually right.
