Stretched along the waterfront on Barters Island Road, overlooking Boothbay Harbor, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens is a popular botanical garden that features a modern visitor’s center, seasonal café, and gift shop.
The Gardens are home to a range of interesting and informative gardens, including the Giles Rhododendron Garden with a breathtaking multi-level waterfall; the manicured Rose & Perennial Garden; the Lerner Garden of the Five Senses – see, hear, feel, touch, and taste your way through; the Bibby and Harold Alfond Children's Garden, which offers two acres of fun for the whole family inspired by Maine children's literature; the Burpee Kitchen Garden; the Slater Forest Pond; and Vayo Meditation Garden – a haven of peace and tranquility.
The waterfront Fairy House Village encourages children to use their imagination to build homes for fairies and folk of the forest without disturbing the environment, while adults can admire the many sculptures by local artists that are scattered throughout the gardens.
