54. I'd been hearing how Chanticleer was an absolute must see

Yesterday

from my Master Gardener buddy (my buddy who is one, that is. I'm not!) for years before I got it together to go. Finally, about 6 years ago, I managed to make it. My husband & I have been members every year since then!

It's about an hour drive for us, so we don't get there as often as we'd like, but it's always worth the drive when we can fit it in!

I hope you get there this Spring, which is always spectacular. But any time during their open season is a joy.
