If so, I travel thru that area and find it so much prettier than the eastern side of PA, but it is all nice. Chanticleer has such a good rep and the Perennial Plant Society I am in often has a speaker from that garden or one who mentions it.

Don't worry about clutter. You should see mine--in fact the whole room is in disarray. It's been so long since it was neat that I probably couldn't or wouldn't know what to do.

Tina, I am like you--I didn't think I'd show my space because it is far too messy. But I just read Marnie's comments, and I wholeheartedly agree!
