Cherry Hill Garden is privileged to have three four-legged garden helpers.
Riley, the dog, is an Old Time Scotch Collie. He protects the property and runs off the varmints--deer, raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and the occasional skunk--that wander onto the premises. We also hope he is a deterrent to deer. He provides good companionship in the garden unless it is too hot. Then he is lying in the shade somewhere or in the house asleep on an air vent.
Gus Gus and Jackie are new additions to the garden. They arrived in July of 2023 as kittens. They are constantly underfoot and are proving to be excellent mousers and vole killers. Gus Gus especially likes lounging in the greenhouse when Bob is working with the tropical plants.
