About Glen Garden

Glen Garden is a 4+ acre property in rural Hartwood that owners Dick & Bonnie share with their 3 cats (Baile, Cowboy, and Lucky) and Tennessee Walker, Lady.  The property consists of two cottages, a barn, and a workshop.
So why the name Glen Garden?
Webster's describes a "glen" as a "small, secluded valley" which fits the location.
And in spite of ridiculously poor soil, hilly terrain, and way too much shade, a variety of perennials have adjusted to life in the "garden."
