Chanticleer Part 2 🌿🕊

in #travel7 years ago

The gardens at Chanticleer are broken up thematically and although each area is very distinct they all flow perfectly as one.

The Asian Woods flow beautifully into Bell's Woodland which flows flawlessly into the Pond Garden. There are several other gardens that all come together as one.

Seven horticulturists are responsible for their own areas of the estate. Each gardener designs and makes the garden area that they are assigned to their own.

Here are a few more shots from our visit to this gem of a garden.

This is still just scratching the surface of this beautiful public garden. I may just have to post a part 3.

Surely I'm not the only one that read Chanticleer and immediately thought of the old cartoon, Rock-a-doodle.

Still, beautiful place. Thanks for sharing!

Never heard of Rock-a-doodle. It sure is a beautiful place.

The lotus looks cgi. Unreal. Love it.

Really nice captures, that place looks beautiful. Now I want to visit even more!!! Looks like a photographer's dream.

I saw some pretty amazing cameras with very expensive looking lenses on them. I witnessed photographers spending great lengths of time shooting one flower, tree, plant, etc.

Thanks @beyondmountains, I want that potting shed in my yard!

I'll see what I can do, but I think they are pretty attached to it.

I love how they made those mini ponds in their tall pots for the japanese gardens area. That's a real neat idea!

The water garden pots are really beautiful !!

Love these photos! And this place!
