Green Linnet

Linnet Overton is an urban farmer, florist, and designer running Green Linnet’s: Floral, Design & Gardens from her home in East Nashville. She creates cut floral designs, including wearable florals, and home decor items, such as ceramic vases and pajaki.

She's a Licensed Master Social Worker by training and worked in systemic advocacy and nonprofit management for more than a decade. Her passion lays in creating a beautiful, sustainable Nashville through community work and gardening at the intersection of social justice and environmentalism.

Green Linnet’s is the the union of a family legacy of floral design and a modern passion for art, handicraft, and sustainability. Her maternal grandparents owned a small farm and Michael’s Floral Shop in Ohio in the 1950’s. And her favorite childhood memories are playing in the woods and creeks of North Carolina, taking visual art and dance classes, and digging in her grandmother’s garden. Her grandmother, now a spritely 90, has the greenest thumb she knows and a strength that never ceases to amaze.

As soon as Linnet moved to Nashville in 2004, she began dreaming of a home and, more importantly, a garden of her own where she could put down roots. The dream came true in 2009, when she planted her first cut flower garden, just an 8 X 8 raised bed full of zinnias, at her family’s new home. She’s grown cut flowers ever since - sharing blooms every year with neighbors, and volunteering her floral design services for nonprofit events and friends’ weddings.
