About Meadowwood Garden:
In July, 2007 a lifelong dream was fulfilled with the purchase of a rural house sitting on almost 5 acres of beautiful land in Fairfield County, Ohio. The property quickly became known as “Meadowwood” among friends and family. I grew up on a street named Meadowwood Lane. That fact, coupled with the secret meadow that was discovered on the other side of the woods made the name a perfect choice.
Secret meadow? After the purchase closed it was discovered that the property line extended out into the meadow next door instead of following an old tree line as we had thought. You can’t see the meadow from the rest of the property, and hardly anyone thinks that section of the meadow is owned by me. Thus the “secret meadow” was born! A walking path along the woods that border the meadow has become a popular destination for guests.
In 2008 another lifelong dream was fulfilled with the construction of a 1000 sq. ft. vegetable garden on the property. Immediately dubbed “Meadowwood Garden,” it became the inspiration for this website.

Hi there:
I will soon be launching a wordpress blog celebrating nature and I would love to include a list of “topics” that upon clicking drop-down into subtopics just like in the right sidebar of your web site. Yours if the first web site I’ve found that includes this feature!
Would you be so kind as to put me in touch with whoever is in charge of your web site programming so that I can learn how it is done?
