Summer’s so busy that we often need time for a few hours or an entire day of peace and quiet. While the beach or our favorite water park is the perfect place to cool down and soak up the sun, nature provides an ideal setting for finding that illusive peace and quiet. Embark on a summer stroll through the stunning Chanticleer Garden in Pennsylvania that’s far from the busyness of everyday life.
Less than a half an hour from downtown Philadelphia, Chanticleer Garden has been a favorite destination for Pennsylvanians and visitors since 1993.
Whether you visit once a season or once a week, you’ll likely be drawn back by the tranquility and natural beauty that surrounds you on your summer stroll.
Carve out plenty of time for your visit to Chanticleer Garden, especially if you want to see all of the gardens on your own self-guided tour. If you’re an artist, bring your paint and canvases (on select days), and let nature inspire your next masterpiece.
Wear comfy shoes for your exploration that will include passing a picturesque footbridge in the Asian Woods, tiny waterfalls that drop into a flowing stream in Bell’s Woodland, and…
...relax in a chair next to the shimmering water of the Pond Garden. You can also explore the Bulb Meadow with its vibrant Spanish bluebells and daffodils, and snap photos of the Orchard, bursting with colorful flowers.
Guided individual and group tours are also available if you’d like to check out the Chanticleer House, the home of the Rosengarten family, who started the 35-acre garden.
However, Chanticleer Garden is currently temporarily closed due to the pandemic. Keep checking its website or Facebook page for information on re-opening.
