Chanticleer has been called the most romantic, imaginative, and exciting public garden in America. The garden is a study of textures and forms, where foliage trumps flowers, the gardeners lead the design, and even the drinking fountains are sculptural. It is a garden of pleasure and learning relaxing yet filled with ideas to take home. After touring the gardens enjoy a picnic lunch in one of the picnic areas located within the garden. Trip includes roundtrip transportation, picnic lunch, and all taxes and gratuities. Bus departs from Carroll Community College.
