Early Spring at Chanticleer

Early Spring blossoms
Brighten up this weekend
Chanticleer magic

The season at Chanticleer Gardens opens officially on March 26, but there are a few openings for early birds too! Today was one of the first warm sunny mornings for a while.

It very grounding being in nature and enjoying the magic of the bulbs and anticipation of the growth ahead.

This garden feeds my soul. I love sharing it with you here, and will also be sharing it more in person this year. I start working part time at Visitors Reception in the coming season. I hope to see you there!

Namaste

      Thank you Mark.💐🙏🏻💖
      It’s the language of nature and her beauty as the seasons change. So grounding in the unfolding. We can choose to embrace or resist, but the truth is evident.

    I’m thrilled for you to have an insiders view of Chanticleer.

    On our early bird visit we met with someone who is I think “Director” of board or chief officer….we expressed appreciation for the huge task of making it so special and magical.

    I am reading Light Eaters about plant life and I’m enthralled.

    thank you Val for your presence in our lives.
