My grandmother lived in Weatherford and her home was very near Chandor Gardens. My sister & I used to walk up there when we visited, but, unfortunately, at that time, I'm talking 1965 to 1970, the gardens had not been maintained properly for many years. I have vivid memories of this place. Ten or less years ago, I picked up a copy of "Texas Highways" at my aunt's house, in Belton, TX and lo and behold, there was an article about the revitilization of Chandor Gardens. I showed it to my mother, and, for the first time, she told me that my father proposed to her there. I live in Washington state and occasionally go back to visit, but, always go to Austin, where I lived for many years. However, I definitely have the urge to go to Weatherford someday and I most definitely will visit these gardens. If you find yourself in Parker County, TX, by all means, go to Chandor Gardens. The little town of Weatherford is a place I have so many good memories and I hope I get there soon! I hope someone sees this comment.

Had never heard of Douglas Chandor or the Chandor Gardens. Came on a field trip with son's homeschool group. Amazing and peaceful. The photos of Mr Chandor painting in the front room and then being in the front room where he painted some 60+ years ago. Cool Fabulous! Had never heard of Douglas Chandor or the Chandor Gardens.

We were so impressed with all it's splendor. Chandor Gardens is doing a great job restoring history. Keep it up. We are planning another trip in May. I brought my Red Hat group here last year.

Three hundred azaleas, over 200 roses, new statuary, a labyrinth, and many other features have been added between 2006 and the present. Come see me!
