Diane

Although Diane has lived in Tennessee since the ‘80s, she says ‘longer than most native Nashvillians’. You may still hear her Long Island roots if you listen closely. It’s no surprise she aspires to recreate the half sour pickles from New York deli-style pickles with farm cucumbers. Diane has been lucky enough to have some her family follow her to Nashville, including two young musicians who keep her up on music in town.  She looks forward to sharing life with even more people.

Diane spent her career as an environmental engineer, and retirement has ignited a passion for native Tennessee plants and wildlife habitat restoration and conservation – skills she plans to share with Burns Village & Farm. Every year, Diane makes a point to hike Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains. She is excited to live in a fun, practical and nurturing neighborhood environment reminiscent of one place she lived as a child like the one she grew up in. She looks forward to early morning strolls through the farm and yoga in the common house.

Teddy the Yorkipoo has very important duties as the group’s official mascot, and Diane’s furry friend.
