Chandor Gardens Tour and Boo Ray's Lunch, Weatherford, TX, Saturday, June 12, 8:45am
If
you like to garden, fancy yourself as a horticulturist, or would simply
enjoy a tranquil and beautiful environment, then this event is for you.
We have arranged a guided tour of Chandor Gardens, one of the most
enchanting gardens in the United States. It is the result of 16 years of
work and inspiration by the English artist Douglas Chandor, who married
the former Ina Hill of Weatherford. Douglas designed and worked on the
gardens until his untimely death in 1953. After Ina’s death in 1978, the
gardens fell into neglect until restored by Charles and Melody Bradford.
Today, the restored gardens are a valued asset of the City of
Weatherford. We have planned an hour and thirty minutes for the garden
tour. After, we will have a group lunch at Boo Ray's at Hudson Oaks.
Note: While Covid infections appear to be declining, we are not
