The Green Wagon is a cool little organic store nestled in between the Local Taco and Cafe Nonna on Murphy Road in the Sylvan Park neighborhood of Nashville.
I’ve been picking up little tidbits about The Green Wagon from twitter updates and news articles by Nashvillest.
The Green Wagon was in the top 10 for Intuit’s Love a Local Business contest; a competition based solely on nominations from satisfied customers and fans.

Unfortunately, the latest clipping I saw on twitter had to do with The Green Wagon closing on its doors in February. They do have another location in East Nashville, so thankfully, The Green Wagon won’t be disappearing into nothingness. Still, Sylvan Park will be losing its little green general store.
Naturally, I had to get in and check it out before the place shut down.

The shop was small and intimate with lots of your typical ‘green store’ offerings including assorted lotions, clothes, candles, and so on. I poked around for a bit and ended up finding an interesting greeting card that you can actually plant in the ground! No joke… it grows into wildflowers. With everything in the store deeply discounted, I had to pick it up. My mother’s in for a pleasant surprise next week.
Long story short, The Green Wagon is a great little general store if you’re into keeping your carbon footprint is small as possible. Hint: We should all probably be thinking about that…
Check out The Green Wagon if you can before they shut their doors in February. If you can’t make it in time, the East Nashville location is located in 5 points. That address is 1100 Forrest Ave. Let them know I sent ya!
