Description

Established in 1994 by Valeree Clegg and her mother, Betty, The Chestnut Tree began as an antique store with a tea room in the back of the shop. Over the years, The Chestnut Tree evolved into a full service restaurant, providing breakfast and lunch to the residents of Denton.

 

The Chestnut Tree was purchased by Suzanne Johnson in 2016. Prior to taking over the business, Suzanne worked at The Chestnut Tree for seven years, serving as the general manager and as the head chef. Suzanne’s husband, Daniel, also worked as a chef for 15 years, stepping in full time at The Chestnut Tree 6 years ago. Suzanne is proud to continue the legacy that Valeree and Betty began — she is passionate about maintaining the history and traditions of The Chestnut Tree, while offering new and exciting events and menu options. The heart of The Chestnut Tree is bringing joy to the people of Denton through delicious food, outstanding customer service, and a warm environment. From the first day the doors opened to today, The Chestnut Tree is proud to serve the wonderful people of Denton — here’s to many more years of delicious meals!

    Growing Greens In Denton Tx

    How to grow lettuce, arugula, Swiss chard, spinach, kale, collards, and mustard greens in Texas. Greens are really easy to grow and in Texas we have two growing seasons for greens. In the video I forgot to say that kale, collard greens and mustard greens are more cold hardy than lettuce, Swiss chard and spinach and so they don't need to be covered or protected when the temperature reaches 22 degrees or below or a light snow is expected. If heavy ice is expected then you might just cover them to keep the leaves from potentially being discolored by the ice. In the video you will notice that I planted the very cold-hardy plants outside of the cold frame.
