Join Chanticleer's Executive Director and Head Gardener Bill Thomas for a visual tour and behind-the-scenes look at what the Washington Post calls “one of the most interesting and edgy public gardens in America.” Chanticleer is known for residential-scale plant combinations featuring foliage textures and colors, a wide variety of containers, and imaginative homemade furniture. The former Rosengarten estate aims to be visually exciting, educational, fun, and an attractive demonstration garden using ecological principles. Bill will offer insights on what inspires this special place, including early results from its multi-year biodiversity study.
