Chanticleer Garden

November 03, 2018 0


Chanticleer Garden is a botanical garden built in 1912 as a summer cottage for Christine Penrose and Adolf Rosengarten and family. Since 1984, chanticleer garden is included in the National register of historic places. 

 A description I could give to the garden is… Romantic, magic, wonderful. When I heard about the place by first time, I did not expect much, but after visiting it, it became one of my favorites for the moment. The houses were the Rosengarten family lived, was built in Colonial Revival, Colonial Pastoral style. 

 The travel of the garden is not too long. It can take no more than one hour. The Admission fee is 10.00$ but you can pay only 2.00$ with the access card.

Jenkins Arboretum

October 06, 2018 0


What an arboretum is? For people that does not know what an arboretum could be, is a tree collection. When you think about a garden, you think about flowers and plants but when you think about arboretums you should think in trees and a lot of trees. 

 Since I started living in the United States I have visited some arboretums and gardens very important in the region, some of them with a great history. 

 My last vacations I visited Jenkins arboretum and I enjoyed it since the moment I joined into the parking lot. I had the sensation that I was getting into a forest, feeling in touch with the nature. 

 Jenkins arboretum its named after its first owners, H. Lawrence Jenkins and Elisabeth Phillippe Jenkins, given to them as a wedding gift in 1928 by Mr. Jenkins father. 

 Later it become in an arboretum and garden and in a living memorial to his wife, and then, a public park and arboretum for scientific and educational purposes. 

 The admission of the arboretum is free, also you can find a plant shop near the visitor center. Its a small arboretum compared to others, since the tour can last up to half an hour. Its opened everyday from 8:00am and I bet is a great place for kids.
