In April of 2010 I visited Chandor Gardens on the opening weekend. It was a wonderful day for a walk in the garden. The air was cool and breezy, the sun was filtered through mildly overcast skis, it was a glorious day.
The images that follow are from my visit on that day. for more information visit the Chandor Gardens page elsewhere on this web site. For a slide show of the images below simply click one of them.

[...] Another way to add surprise to a garden is through contrast. Choose red-leafed plants for variety, and surround them with greenery to make their color pop. [image of Chandor Gardens, from The Road Trip Destination Guide] [...]
