Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

 3 July 2021  Boothbay Harbor



The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is 250 acres of beauty.  It has been open since 2007 and had earned the reputation as being one of the most distinguished gardens in the US. We all did comparisons with various gardens we have each visited and we agree with this distinguishes designation.  There was an exhibition of Trolls made by a Danish artist but that will be its own post.  This post will be an endless collection of flowers!  No apologies to anyone as I am a big fan of flowers. We spent almost three hours in the gardens and it seemed like we left too soon.
