I live around the corner from the wonderful Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne, PA.
The gardens opened on March 31st and I have enjoyed walking here whenever I can. Every time there is a shift and something to catch my attention and bring awe… and peace. Being in these special gardens replenishes mind, body and spirit.
This is my happy and peaceful place. My husband Don refers to it as Om Shanti Shanti Chanticleer. It’s so true. It brings peace within and without, and connects me the universe. Being in nature and appreciating the creativity and fellow bravado of garden lovers really fills me up!
Enjoy these captures from the first awakenings of Spring 💕

I lived 15 minutes from Longwood Gardens for a few years and felt the same way. It could turn my mood around in 5 minutes. Better than any pharmaceuticals! Nature has powerful healing powers.
