Chanticleer
A 50-acre pleasure garden in Wayne, Pennsylvania, Chanticleer is one of the most visually exciting, imaginative, and romantic gardens in the U.S. Formerly the private estate of the Rosengartens, the garden is a study of textures and forms where foliage trumps flowers, the gardeners lead the design, and even the drinking fountains are sculptural. It is a garden of delights and learning, relaxing yet filled with ideas to take home. The garden has evolved greatly since opening to the public in 1993.
