Winter is a great time for planning trips. Last year I got to take a fabulous trip to visit multiple gardens in the greater Philadelphia area. My favorite of the trip was Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne, PA. (I am receiving no money for this post) If you enjoy public gardens at all, then you should make this one a priority! The estate is very large and entrance fees are minimal.
The Japanese Garden, Vegetable Garden and Dry Gardens were all lovely and interesting but nothing compares to the view from the house patio. The English landscape garden is just stunning.

Not far from their is the formal planting where the swimming pool used to be. So much detail goes into such a lovely garden with such a variety of plants and water features.

You can also enjoy multiple trails through the woods and enjoy the shade plantings like I did with my friends Jewell and Elise.
In addition to this, there are green houses, a fake "ruin" (or folly) near the dry garden, and other plantings I've not mentioned. It's absolutely worth the drive. For more information, check out their website at https://www.chanticleergarden.org/.
