Today I am sharing more of my newest obsession – Chanticleer – a public garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
In my last post, I shared some photos from a recent visit. Today, I am sharing more photos – this time from one specific area of the seven garden areas at Chanticleer.
The seven Horticulturists at Chanticleer are each responsible for the design, planting, and maintenance of an area. The areas are continually evolving, each with its own feel, yet joined together as one complete unit.
The photos in today’s post were all taken at the area called The Ruin. The Ruin, one of the seven areas of the garden, is built on the foundation of Adolph Rosengarten Jr.’s home.
It is meant to look as if the house fell into disrepair. The Ruin has a focus on hardy perennials, both woody and herbaceous.
Of the 50 acres owned by The Chanticleer Foundation, 35 are open to the public. The remaining acreage is in agriculture, woodland, service areas, and staff housing. The main path is just under a mile in length.
I hope I have inspired you to think about planning a visit to this fabulous garden or maybe another beautiful public garden close to your home.
Thanks for stopping by!
