Garden tours are inspiring, but Chanticleer gave me something even better: ideas I immediately wanted to bring home and try in my own garden.
In this video, I’m sharing 10 garden design ideas I’m stealing from Chanticleer, from layered naturalistic planting and repetition done in creative ways to how they blended plants with architecture, softened pathways, used edible plants ornamentally, and created gardens that feel relaxed while still being incredibly intentional.
What stood out most was how livable and approachable so many of the ideas felt. These weren’t just beautiful display gardens. They were filled with clever planting combinations, structure, movement, texture, and simple details home gardeners can actually recreate.
If you love cottage gardens, naturalistic planting, layered borders, or want your garden to feel more cohesive and immersive, I think you’ll come away inspired.
I garden in Zone 6b in New Jersey and have been growing zinnias for over 20 years in garden beds, cutting gardens, and raised beds. Everything I share here comes from my experience and what actually works in my home garden.
