Chanticleer is an estate and gardens dating back to the early 20th century, when the land was bought and developed by the Rosengarten family, who were prominent in the pharmaceutical industry. Open April through October, visitors may enjoy the delights of the garden as well as tour the estate house for a small extra fee. The name ‘Chanticleer’ is the French word for ‘rooster’, and rooster motifs may be found on the main gate and throughout the property.

Chanticleer has wide, sweeping lawns, forested areas, a pond, and many different garden themes. The pond is surrounded by ornamental grasses, black-eyed Susans, and daisies and is home to little green herons, hummingbirds, wrens, and goldfinches. The Asian Woods contains plants native to China, Japan, and Korea. In the Teacup Garden there is a collection of tropical and subtropical plants, all highly aromatic. It is a beautiful place to visit in spring, summer, and fall.
