Secret Garden I Clockwise from top left: Teacup Garden, tulips at Pool House, ruin Garden in autumn, baby robins in garden Chanticleer feels a world apart. magine the sight of 200,000 daffodils, the scent of pink azaleas growing in the shade of a woodland garden, or the gentle sound of a fountain. At Chanticleer, you can experience these sensory delights ﬁrsthand. Twenty miles from Philadelphia City Hall, the garden is a joyful place for an escape. Its stunning topography is a study of textures and forms, where foliage trumps ﬂowers, and the gardeners lead the design. In the early 20th century, Adolph and Christine Rosengarten built Chanticleer as their country estate — the family pharmaceutical ﬁrm became part of Merck in the 1920s. Their son, Adolph Jr., directed that the property become a public garden upon his death in 1990. Since then, its has evolved signiﬁcantly, while retaining the estate’s impressive trees and lawns. Today, visitors can tour the circa-1913 home, but the ever-evolving gardens are the real star. Called “interesting and edgy” by the Washington Post and “imaginative and inspired” by HGTV, Chanticleer is managed by 13 creative gardeners and groundskeepers who design, plant, and maintain the 35 acres. During the closed winter season, they sculpt furniture, fences, gates, bridges, and drinking fountains to accent the garden. With many themed areas such as The Orchard, House Garden, and Asian Woods, Chanticleer offers a romantic spot for a date, or a beautiful walk with friends and family. For others, it’s the perfect place to paint en plein air, or to sit, read, and while away an afternoon. photos by rob cardillo & l. albee chanticleer is open april through october, wednesday through sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and until 8 p.m. on fridays, may through labor day. 786 church road, wayne, pa 19087 610.687.4163 or chanticleergarden.org 166 June 2012 usairwaysmag.com http://www.chanticleergarden.org http://www.chanticleergarden.org http://www.usairwaysmag.com
