Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

This lush botanical garden sitting on a river bank includes 250 acres of manicured landscapes interspersed with natural habitats and trails. Kids will love it too - the Children's Garden is inspired by best-loved literature written by Maine authors. Other features include a moth and butterfly habitat, a meditation garden, and a visitor center. Throughout the grounds you'll see several sculptures by celebrated artists such as Thomas Dambo, Carol Hanson, and Steve Tobin. (Submitted by Shirley Beauchemin Thurston)
