Glen's Garden Design

Gardens that feel like
they've always been here.

I'm Glen Pennoyer. For nearly twenty years I've designed, planted and cared for gardens around Spartanburg County — quietly, one yard at a time.

About

I'd rather plant fewer things, better.

I grew up in upstate South Carolina chasing my grandmother around her vegetable rows. The work has changed shape over the years — design drawings, stone patios, a lot of mulch — but the part I love hasn't. A good garden is patient. It welcomes you home.

Every project starts with a walk through your yard and an honest conversation. No upsells, no pressure.

"Glen walked the yard with us, listened, and then drew a plan that fit our house perfectly. Three years later the garden looks like it's been here for thirty."
