Welcome to the Ardens
Welcome to an unofficial website of the Villages of Arden, Ardentown, and Ardencroft, all of which continue to champion Henry George's Single Tax philosophy, the landscaping of the Garden City movement, the ideals of Arts and Crafts, and the playfulness of Shakespeare, Gilbert and Sullivan.
Highland Orchards is selling fresh produce, free-range duck and chicken eggs, dairy products, and baked goods in the Gild Hall parking lot, Noon-1:00 p.m. every Saturday, rain or shine. For details, call 478-4042. For enthusiasm, call Dela Bryan: she will inspire you with talk of supporting local agriculture and organic gardening, and will recommend Barbara Kinsolver's novel, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.
