Merryspring Nature Center is a lovely 66-acre private park and nature center located in Camden and Rockport. With winding walking trails, a herb garden, an arboretum, a rock garden, a birds & bees garden, a children’s garden, a rose garden, three different greenhouses, and an informative and welcoming visitors center, the garden offers a wonderful green oasis where something is blooming all the time and where white-tailed deer are as common as squirrels.
You can also spot barred owls, ruffed grouse, and all sorts of songbirds. The center was founded by local horticulturist Mary Ellen Ross in 1974. Her goal was to create a sanctuary and a place where people can study horticulture and enjoy nature. The center offers a range of special events such as lectures, discussions, classes, and workshops.
