Chanticleer continued...
Once a driveway, now a lovely circular garden planted with cherry trees and hydrangeas. Every morning before the garden opens to the public, the gravel circle is raked into beautiful patterns. The task is accomplished with a long-handled aluminum rake...one of my favorite tasks while working in the garden!
Venturing around the side of the Main House texturally rich 'tropical' plantings will soon grow into a fabric of purples, blues, chartreuse and orange.
And the containers throughout the garden are fantastic and changed twice a year.
Simple and lovely - the symmetrical placement of pots emphasize the symmetry of the architecture of the Main House.
I am absolutely in love with these perforated steel rusty cones full of succulents!
Viewing the back of the Main House, from the swimming pool which is kept clean without chemicals!
Pennsylvania Bluestone is used on most, if not all of the paving surfaces throughout the garden.
To be at Chanticleer Garden is truly a magical experience.
It is one of the most creative and special places I've been.
