Chanticleer Artists
Chanticleer is a place of pleasure and creativity, as well as a place for deep thinking and study. To keep the garden fresh, Chanticleer staff are encouraged to develop talents in addition to their gardening vocation. Skills range from wood-working, metal-working, and stone-carving, to photography, painting, and videography. Imaginative benches, chairs, tables, bridge handrails, and plant list boxes are crafted to grace the garden, adding aesthetic and functional value to guests. The combined effect often inspires Chanticleer guests to create their own artwork.
