Floral Inspiration

Chanticleer is one of the best kept secrets.  It was a pharmaceutical executive's estate, located in Wayne,PA.  His son donated it to the township and now it is open to the public.  It is called a pleasure garden and that is certainly understandable.  Sprinkled among all the different flower beds, are beautiful handcrafted chairs, for you to sit and take in the beauty, rest, o chat with you companions.

Serene, calm and eye candy.



 A wonderland of big beautiful hydrangeas.






Handcrafted bench in the vegetable gaden.  Check out the carrot and asparagus legs and the celery arms.





A "Fred Flintstone" seat made enitirely of stone.






Can you see the sculpted head lying in
the grass?





What a beautiful place.
