About Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens grew from a grassroots effort into the largest botanical garden in New England, spread over more than 300 acres in Boothbay. Its paths wind through themed gardens such as the Giles Rhododendron Garden and along nearly a mile of tidewater shoreline. Giant trolls, the Guardians of the Seeds, wait to be found in the wooded areas. Wear comfortable shoes, and note that only service animals are allowed.
