About Bedford Glens Garden Center | Cleveland Ohio

Bedford Glens Garden Center is a family owned business. A wholesale supply yard operated by Ken and Brenda Pund in the Cleveland Ohio area.

Ken has been in business since 1978. When Ken was in grade school he worked in his neighborhood mowing yards and shoveling sidewalks when it snowed. By the time he was in high school it was a daily after school job. When he graduated high school it became a full time business. People told him he'd never make a living in landscaping.

As it turned out, Ken was one of the early pioneers of our local Ohio Landscaper Association. a) Being honored as one of the oldest members of 38 years. Bedford Glens was founded in 1999 as an extension of Ken's then existing landscaping & snowplowing business. He needed a place to keep equipment, work on his vehicles, and store plants and mulch. Landscapers discovered him, and asked to buy material from him. This was the beginning of the garden center which continued to grow. Over the next 10 years an employee bought the landscaping business. That was the end of his landscaping career. The snowplow business continued for four more years as the garden center kept expanding. Bedford Glens became known as one of the best places to buy hardscape material.

Brenda is pretty much retired and will pop in to do some paperwork throughout the days. Daughter, Niki, started helping out at the garden center in 1999, a few hours a day after her day job ended and went to college by night. She is full time at Bedford Glens, moving into more of an office role. Niki's daughter, Ariana, has been coming to work since she was born in 2004. She helps answer the phones when needed. In 2017, Niki's childhood friend, Liz started working at the garden center. She works with customers and does most of the loading/unloading.

In 2003 Ken opened another location in North Canton to reach the potential customers in that area with the water feature part of the business. Ken's sister, Debbie operated the North Canton yard. Debbie decided to retire and in December 2021 the North Canton business was sold. It is still being ran in the same location, just with new ownership.
