The Old Sevier Community Group received a city grant in 2015 to install butterfly gardens on and around the South Knoxville Waterfront to restore habitat that's been affected by the recent development. This patch of on Sevier Ave suffers fron serious erosion due to construction when the the road was redone. Though the area around it seems to be filling in, this area remains an eyesore and was designated as a No Mow zone by the City of Knoxville. We advised that the group build two swales and bring in as much biomass (compost. mulch, old wood) to fill the swales and cover the area. We hope to build the soil and stop the erosion so the plants will have a chance in this inhospitable spot.
