The Place In Maine That Makes You Feel Like You’ve Stepped Through A Magical Wardrobe
There are so many places in Maine that will make you feel as though you’ve entered a new world. From foggy coasts to dense forests, it’s easy to get away from it all in Vacationland. But one of our favorite things about this state is how easy it is to find spots that truly transport you. Visiting this special garden in Northeast Harbor will do just that!
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate



John D. Rockefeller Jr. provided the financial support necessary to create Asticou using Farrand's plants and flowers.


Savage's study of Japanese design has also meant the careful inclusion of a zen garden with rocks and sand. The careful raking of the garden is meant to evoke imagery of islands and flowing water.


A walk along the circular path will take visitors through beautiful garden rooms - some with stone benches to sit and simply enjoy the surrounding beauty.






Thuya, also built by Savage, features semi-formal English border beds and indigenous eastern Maine woodlands. The garden is located on a granite hillside overlooking Northeast Harbor.
Asticou Azalea Garden is located at 3 Sound Drive in Northeast Harbor, Maine. For more information, along with directions and more history head over to this website.
