Globetrotting Through Gardens
Budget Travel explores the most beautiful gardens around the world
There are a few things we miss from childhood: story time, crustless PB&J sandwiches, lying in the garden pulling petals off the daisies...he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me...
Smell the FlowersYou're an adult now, but smelling the roses is still important. The May issue of Budget Travel features some of the most beautiful gardens from around the world. If you haven't finalized your spring travel plans, have a look at some of the most beautifully green places in the world.
York Gate Garden - Leeds, England
Andy Sturgeon, award winning garden designer, says, "It's a gem." You'll find a series of outdoor rooms composed of formal and informal designs, an Italianate summer house and a cornucopia of topiaries. Visit the Perennial Gardener's Royal Benevolent Society online for hours of operation and admission fees.Chanticleer - Wayne, PA
Julie Moir Messervy, garden designer says, "I love how quirky Chanticleer is." You'll find more than 30 acres of flowers (tens of thousands) and woodlands with fountains filled with faces looking up through the water. Visit Chanticleer, a pleasure garden, online for hours of operation and admission fees.Queen Califia's Magical Circle, Kit Carson Park - Escondido, CA
Designed by French artist, Niki de Saint-Phalle, it depicts Queen Califia (mythical warrior Queen California was named for) standing atop a 13 ft, 5-legged eagle.
