Summary[edit]

Description

Taken in the Rhododendron Garden.

Comments are always appreciated.

[Azaleas make up two subgenera of Rhododendron. They are distinguished from "true" rhododendrons by having only five anthers per flower.]

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a botanical garden in Boothbay, Maine. The garden is 248 acres (1 km2) with a mile of waterfront on Barters Island Road. After 16 years of planning, building and planting, in 2007 the Gardens opened to the public. In addition to the gardens themselves, it features a visitor's center, which includes a seasonal cafe and gift shop.

Gardens include the Giles Rhododendron Garden, which includes a multi-level waterfall; the 2-acre (8,100 m2) Bibby and Harold Alfond Children's Garden, inspired by Maine children's literature; the Lerner Garden of the Five Senses; Rose & Perennial Garden; Burpee Kitchen Garden; Slater Forest Pond; Cleaver Event Lawn & Garden; Haney Hillside Garden; and Vayo Meditation Garden. The waterfront Fairy House Village, re-imagined in 2013, encourages children to use their imagination to build homes for the wee folk of the forest without disturbing the environment.

The gardens feature sculptures by fine artists, most of whom are from Maine. While many of the pieces are part of temporary exhibits, a good number are part of the Gardens' permanent collection. (Wikipedia)
