The Nashville Downtown Arboretum is a joint effort by the Metro Beautification & Environment Commission for District 19 and the Nashville Downtown Partnership. The Arboretum was established in 2024 for the enjoyment and education of all who live, work, play and invest in downtown Nashville.

Thanks to an effort led by former District 19 Councilman and Nashville's 10th Mayor, Freddie O'Connell, the Aboretum is home to over 80 tree species.
