Green Wagon

I found the Green Wagon on Unilocal and was so excited!!! My husband and I had just eaten lunch in the area and because we were nearby decided to stop in. I totally get the idea of it being in a house and that didn’t bother me at all. Walked in and I greeted the employees who just stared at us. It was a little odd but I was still really happy I found a spot I could by green household items locally. It was freezing cold outside and actually sleeting a bit and being inside wasn’t much warmer. The employees were kinda all huddled up on stairs and behind register. We wandered through the house. Cool stuff. I wanted to try the kombucha I had read about and I also found some wool dryer balls that I wanted to try. After those finds, I didn’t feel like staying much longer. It just felt so awkward!!! We checked out and THEIR personalities thawed a bit but not much. Maybe the fact that I’m not in my twenties or my hubby is not white or maybe they were really THAT cold made it feel so uncomfortable in there. I will give them a try again in the late spring and maybe bring a girlfriend with me to see if the vibe improves. As for my purchases: love the dryer balls not a fan of the ginger kombucha. Will try another flavor next time. 3 stars for great selection of products.

Ok this place is looks kinds shady from the outside. in a rinky dink run down house that from one side looks deserted. Once you overcome that and step inside … it’s ok. there is a fair selection of cleaning products. One option I like is that you can bring your own container and fill it up with whatever cleaner you want that way you don’t have to add another plastic container to the landfill.
there are a selection of clothes and jewelry, pretty small, but not bad. kind of expensive for what it is.
The thing I was a little disappointed about was that there was no food related products there, but where the store is and the other options for food that are around I guess the green wagon doesn’t feel it needs it.

Lovely little local joint with all sorts of local «green» goodies. You can find the usual fare… lotions, candles, essential oils and room sprays, but they do offer a wide variety of other goods as well. Lots of green local cleaners (think homemade laundry soap) and spiffy organic makeup. Also a great place to find ionized water! Talk to the man that owns the place, he is a WEALTH of information about the Five Points community.

I cannot really add anything to the previous reviews, indeed it is a treasure trove of planet saving goodies. We are really only buying the Booch — a locally made Kombucha tea which is way better than the ones at the Truck. Half a gallon $ 15 if you have a wagon dollar cert and return your bottle. As of tomorrow they will also be stocking Khan’s Desserts so I can stroll for sugar instead of drive up porter.

Love the idea. have yet to go and want to buy anything. But love the idea.

Green Wagon was described to me as a «green general store» and that turned out to be remarkably accurate. I’ve seen shops that use environmental stewardship as a unifying theme but too often they end up being new age shops with cases full of crystals and bowls full of sage sticks.
Green Wagon offers a selection of green cleaners in bulk, toys made of recycled plastic, a small assortment of locally produced packaged foods and an assortment of things that would kind of fit elsewhere (toy shop, clothing boutique, etc). It appeared as though a café had recently closed in the back of the shop — which is located in the first floor of a converted house — and all of the kitchen equipment was up for sale.
I hope that Green Wagon continues to increase and diversify its offerings and that someone in Indianapolis opens a comparable shop sooner rather than later.

Great shop with a great message, everything they sell is of the highest local quality and the owners are fantastic. I like the baked goods and café attached in the back, though I wish they had some juice options on the menu!

I’m not sure how you couldn’t give this place 5 stars. The owner lives and breaths the Green Wagon, it’s his passion and I am not going to stand in the way of his passion succeeding ESPECIALLY because it helps the environment. Now the Green Wagon is more than just a store. The owners are active in the community and host events so the community can learn to be more green. Not only that they have block parties periodically to help out other local groups. Typically the event will benefit a location organization, they will have beer for a donation (Yazoo, Jackalope, Nashvillion and recently the newest beer member in town Fat Bottom) and live bands. They will also have the Grilled Cheeserie, Bang Candy, Mas Tacos, etc on hand for the hungry folks. At the event in November they had a photo booth and hot chocolate. I live down the street so I try my hardest to stop in every time they have an event. Inside the store they sell soaps, make-​up, water, clothes, baby stuff, scarves, body care, etc. I even bought an amazing faux fur jacket over Christmas. Baller!

I have been more than 10 times every time I go I am greeted just as I was the first day I walked in, with the added how did you like xxx Great people very understanding of my ignorant questions, very helpful in every way this is a shop that I would strongly recommended going to.

I’ve only visited the Green Wagon twice, and upon each visit I think to myself, «Why don’t I come in here more often?» Oh the commitment to solely use cleaning, paper, and bath products that have zero potential of harming my health… It seems challenging, but is it really? And isn’t it worth it?
Of course the Green Wagon has more than just recycled toilet paper and ammonia free cleaning products. If you are looking for ANYTHING in anyway good for body and planet, this is the place to go. I’m not planning on having any babies, but if I was, I’d make a beeline here! Ah, holistic mothering… I am a huge fan from a distance.
I bought Green Wagon’s t-​shirt and have been sporting it proudly. It was only $ 15, and it was a great design, and hey I supported a local business. Go me, and go Green Wagon.

The Green Wagon is a such a great idea1 Not only is it a one stop neighborhood shop for all of your green needs, it has a lot of events and workshops that bring together community, and I always see the owners at the E. Nashville farmer’s market on Wednesdays. The owners are truly practicing what they preach! There are quite a few natural cleaning, beauty and health care products, many of which are handmade and local (check out all the soap!). I went there to put together a gift basket for my mother, and purchased an awesome handmade pottery mug, chocolate, soap, lip balm, a card and some other little things… ALL of which were handmade/​local!

I need to go here more often! Especially for the workshops they offer. The owners of the Green Wagon are so warm and friendly. Now if only I had the money to buy every single thing in the store…

Well hello there, Green Wagon.
On my first visit, I was given a run down on what the store is about from a helpful employee. I love their philosophy of having a store dedicated to local and environmentally conscious products, from up-​cycled hats, to Tennessee honey.
I spent some time getting lost in all the cosmetics, baby and mommy stuff, and natural, refillable cleaning supplies-​something that I’ve become more and more interested in, especially since I have to steer clear of harsh chemicals with Future Baby on board.
Speaking of Future Baby, I found a rad little t-​shirt for her; thin red and white stripes and blue piping with a stitched on bicycle patch on the chest. Super cool, super cute and made right here.
As I was paying, I signed up for a program that donates 5% of your purchase price to a charity of your choice, with another 5% going towards store credit. How cool is that?

If I had a million dollars… okay maybe just an extra few hundred dollars I would blow most of it here. Green Wagon has a lot of fun, earth friendly, and local products which are obviously «green». It smells good in there to boot!
We attended the Green Wagon block party last Saturday. The block had a few vendors/​food trucks, a stage with live music and a ton of people packed on the porch drinking beer (staying off the sidewalks to keep the city happy). It felt like a backyard BBQ and it was neat.
I didn’t get to spend enough time inside the store, I will definitely be returning when it isn’t full of thirsty patrons. I could definitely spend some time exploring and reading all of the details of each product they offer. I did notice the Alchemy of Sol soaps which I have used are available here and appear to be priced a bit less than Turnip Truck. They offer Paninis, and a few other selections according to the menu board, what stood out was their offering of Gluten free baked goods! Mom has celiac so this was a score, I will be back to pick up some muffins for her. We also purchased some cigar boxes they had for sale for $ 1 each! I love cigar boxes fashioned into daily use containers, adds some design to the house for little cash.
I love that this is in an old house, the décor is friendly, fresh and welcoming. I am so glad they moved to our area from the west side. I know I will enjoy visiting, shopping and gathering gardening tips here in the future!

I love this place! They are the spot to hit when you want to get anything green. LOVE LOVE LOVE their vegan bakery offerings! Gotta give them a try!

Very cool little store with all kinds of eco friendly products that both address environmental issues and your health. THey have a refill station for hair care products, some eco friendly mattresses, candles, bug spray, clothes, linens. It’s a hodgepodge of things you can’t really get elsewhere in town. i also like the tries to source as much as she can locally. Also if you sign up for the newsletter or spend some time on their site, there are a number of community education classes offered that seem really cool.

I shopped here recently. The owners were friendly and helpful. They had a huge variety of products, enough for me to buy stocking stuffers for my whole family. Everything is locally produced and all the soaps smelled wonderful. I will definitely be visiting again and will be recommending this place to my friends.

Each time I come in here, I walk out with more Go Green «street cred».
I love all of the basic day to day products that they offer here that not only support the planet but our Nashville economy. The Green Wagon retails many products made from local and regional sources. My newest crushes include my organic mascara purchase ($ 11), eco-​friendly toothbrush with 2 replacement bristles and a wooden handle made from recycled wood ($ 8), and minty fresh organic tooth paste that is made from a Knoxville dentist ($ 6). A gallon of Hooch kombucha ($ 27) made it’s way into my car again.
I may not be able to buy everything in my household here but I can do as much as I can and feel really incredible about my shrinking carbon footprint.

One of the best untapped stores in East Nashville. The location is great and the concept behind the Green Wagon has so much potential, I can’t wait to see how it grows in the coming months. Classes, café, catering, social gatherings… plus their line of products is local and unique from the bulk Dr. Bronner’s soap and bug spray to locally grown Kombucha, soap and other items, this is THE place to go to get your fill of all that Nashville has to offer in «green» personal products. I’m sure I’ll be spending lots of time and money here in the future.
