How Winter's Weather Impacted Chanticleer

Chanticleer, the pleasure garden in Wayne, opened for its 2013 season on Wednesday, April 3.

You can tell by the photo above, comparing the same tree this year with how it was at about the same time last year, that weather has made the difference.

Executive Director Bill Thomas said that the lack of "hot periods" in March meant that trees and flowers did not bloom early, as many did last year. Magnolias, which are often lost to frost, are looking good.

This year guests will actually be able to see the daffodils bloom, Thomas said.
