Nice list. Good for locals and visitors as well.

We are fortunate to have so many wonderful gardens. Your list reminds me of many I have not yet seen and others I need to see again. I drive past Chanticleer on my way home from work. It closes at 5 excpet Frdiays, so I sometimes stop on a Friday. Jenkins is nearby, too and a great place to breathe some fresh air after a day in the office.

Jenkins has closed due to major renovations to their education center. They expect to open next Spring.

Here are two free gardens to take its place.

The Highlands Mansion & Gardens, Fort Washington

The Learning Gardens at Montgomery County Cooperative Extension, Collegeville
