Many of our gardens are full sun—sunscreen, hats and sunglasses will keep you protected on your visit.
Our paths are accessible and easy to walk, but the Gardens is many acres. Wear comfortable shoes for an enjoyable visit.
Maine woods can be buggy, so plan ahead.
Refillable water bottles are a sustainable way to stay hydrated. We have multiple filling stations.
Take your memories home with you—take plenty of photos to share. #MaineGardens
