Chanticleer Gardens

Sky blue beauty marks this day. A day for delightful gardens and time with the people I love most. I traveled with my parents and sister to Chanticleer Gardens, a hidden emerald on the outskirts of Philadelphia. It is a fairyland full of sweet flowering plants and winding walkways. While some Saturdays begin with a wake-up alarm tugging me to work, this day let me rest. Being in well tended green space calms my senses. Organic order and unexpected landscape design have me giddy. And the best part: both my father and I entered the gardens for free because we make our living looking after plants. Hoorah for gardening!
