What an absolutely perfect day for a field trip! Sunny, clear skies with just the hint of fluffy clouds and 75 degrees. Attendees included President Patti Tivnan, Carol Southerland, Pat Olds, Pam Eden, Bill Reynolds and Susan Reynolds. Chanticleer Gardens opened in 1993 and 35 of the 47 acres are open to the public to enjoy. This is an imaginative and relaxing garden where foliage, texture and wide open space balance the flowers. There are aspects of traditional English, Italian and Asian gardens throughout. Plenty of opportunities to just sit and enjoy the view.
