BOOTHBAY — Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens’ Maine Days, scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 2-4, allows Maine residents to visit at no cost.
Advance registration is still required for the event.
“We are looking forward to welcoming Mainers to the Gardens for this special weekend. Over the years, we found that many people already have plans over the Memorial Day holiday, so we decided to try the following weekend to see if it’s better for our Maine community,” explained Gretchen Ostherr, Gardens president and CEO, according to a news release from Jen McKane, vice president of philanthropy and marketing of the Gardens. “We’re so excited to share this resource with our neighbors and make it the best possible experience for them.”
Founded by Maine residents with a passion for gardens and the state’s magnificent coast and forests, the Gardens is comprised of cultivated, formal gardens and natural landscapes that highlight natural history, habitats, botany, horticulture and ecological connections.
Endeavoring to make the Gardens as accessible, inclusive and relevant to the community as possible, each year during Maine Days residents of the state are invited to experience the Gardens at no cost. This year’s event is a way to visit the Gardens’ larger-than-life environmental stewards, the giant trolls, there for their third season.
